Menangle Race 8 - Agnes Banks Equine Vet Pace
OHOKA COBRA NZ (3) drew wide in stronger company last start and was held up so overlook that result and assess his chances off a third in this class at this circuit and distance two back. Draws lower than he did there so could break through. CASH AND BLING (8) draws wide but has been performing well in races like this of late, missing narrowly when placed last week so can make an impact again with even luck. GUEST ARTIST NZ (1) gets the ace draw and must be considered after he came from a wider barrier and finished third here a week ago. UNCLE TIGER (2) is another that placed from deeper here last time. Draws for another good showing.

Comes here second-up after a week. Lacklustre first-up performance when 9th (Fr9) over 1609m after racing wide at this track, beaten 20 m by Double Fear (1:52.30) in NR up to 75 on March 24 at $26. Unlikely to threaten against this field.

Last start 4th (Fr8) over 2300m at this track, beaten 4.5 m by Layden (2:46.00) in NR up to 80 on March 27 at $18.

Didn't do much last start, 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 7th-13.76 beaten 9 m by Double Fear (1:52.30) in NR up to 75 on March 24 at $34. Before that was driven from back in the field when 10th (Fr6) over 1720m at Penrith, beaten 35 m by Red Sapphire (2:00.50) in NR up to 90 on March 12 at $126. Not keen on his chances in this field.
