Menangle Race 6 - Yirribee Pacing Stud Cattlewash Pace
SHARK DANCER (1) has been coming from wider or second row draws of late including a third two back at Penrith and a placing at this circuit and distance back in January. Should get every chance from the ace draw. LILS NIGHTMARE NZ (3) hasn't been too far away at this circuit and distance of late including a second from a wider barrier two back. Draws to make an impact. WHAT FOR (2) hasn't done a bad job from wider barriers in his last few and is better served by this draw. RIO DE JANEIRO BLUE NZ (8) was held up late in a stronger race last week but had recorded a series of top-four finishes at this circuit and distance prior, coming from a similar barrier to win three back. Worth another chance.
