Menangle Race 6 - Agnes Banks Equine Clinic Pace
RIVERA LOU (7) chased a handy mare when he resumed with a 4.5 metre second at this circuit and distance last week. Draws one spot wider but should be improved and this race looks to have less depth. Leading hope. MAJOR ICON NZ (4) drew wide and worked when midfield last week but had put together a series of top-three finishes here prior. Led from deeper when winning two back so can take advantage of the better draw. SURF ACE (6) wasn't too far off the placegetters in a higher-graded race last week and did manage back-to-back wins at this circuit and distance last month. RIO DE JANEIRO BLUE NZ (2) won from a much wider barrier here three back and has been solid since, clocking in second last week. Up in grade but draws to be competitive.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Major Icon at this track over 1609m in a 3yo+ 2LTW so eligible 3yo+ NR55 on March 3 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Stitched Up Dan at this track over 1609m in a 3yo+ 2LTW so eligible 3yo+ NR55 on March 10 at $13. Has a low draw so can go well again.
