Menangle Race 2 - Bestinbeds.com.au Pace
COLOSSAL HOPE (6) worked from this draw and faded last week but should find this easier and was progressing strongly prior with three straight wins, two of them at this venue. Tries this distance for the first time but has more upside than most of these. There was plenty of merit in the latest performance of HEEZA MALTEEZA (5) when he worked from a wide barrier but stuck on to place. Draws closer to the pegs and could be ready for a return to the winners' stall. BROWNIESATMIDNIGHT (7) made his first visit to this venue a winning one when digging deep for last-start win by a head. Has joined Peter Rixon since and while drawn wider he could work through his grades. TUKAHA (3) added to his consistent form when he came from wider for third here last week. Draws to be competitive again. JETTER SON (9) has joined Jarrod Alchin since he last raced a month ago. Draws wide but has some upside.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind Hollywood Strip at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 80 on February 28 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Bartello at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 85 on March 21 at $19. Has a nice draw and expected to figure prominently again.

Second-up here following a spell. Game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr8) over 2270m at Riverina Paceway, at the bell was 6th-9.3 beaten 6 m by Earl Of Pembroke (2:44.60) in NR up to 90 on March 20 at $5. Fitter so another good showing is on the cards.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr6) over 1609m after being wide early at this track was 2nd-1.73 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Michaywey (1:51.80) in NR up to 85 on March 21 at $8. Showed ability the race before when he won by a head as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at this track (1:52.60) beating Cash And Bling in NR up to 75 on March 10 at $2 at the bell was leading 4.86. Has more upside than most of these and can return to the winners' list.
