Menangle Race 9 - Success Stud For Spelling Your Horses Pace
MIKI COHEN NZ (6) has worked his way back into winning form, coming from a similar barrier to to score by 1.8 metres at this circuit and distance last start. Stays in the same grade and is capable of getting the job done again. DOUBLE FEAR (7) put the writing on the wall when a close second two back then led and fought well to score at his most recent outing at this circuit and distance. Draws wider but he is going well. OHOKA COBRA NZ (3) looks close to a win having come from this barrier for second to Miki Cohen last time. ULTIMATE BIRD NZ (2) was beaten only 1.4m from a much wider barrier last start. Should get his chance from the good draw.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.4 m fourth behind Double Fear at this track over 1609m NR up to 75 last start. Before that was beaten 4 metres fourth again at this track in NR up to 80 on February 28. Racing well and not without merit.
