Menangle Race 2 - Bestinbeds.com.au Pace
NERANO NZ (5) has been racing well against good company at this circuit and distance, recording back-to-back seconds from wider barriers than this before finishing 5m away last time. Should be at his peak now and looks well placed. Stablemate CATCHAFIRE NZ (4) faded to midfield as favourite in his last outing three weeks ago but is better than that having scored a win at this circuit and distance three back. Worth another chance. THALASSOPHOBIA (3) enjoys a drop in grade from the Riverina Championships and went into that series off a win at this venue. Draws for a good showing. ALTA WILLIAM (9) did a good job from a similar barrier last time when he raced parked but stuck on to be beaten only 3.7m. HUGO MAGUIRE NZ (2) continued his good form with a last-start win in the Autumn Gift and draws to be competitive again.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr7) over 2300m at this track was 8th-16.9 at the bell, beaten 6 m by South Seas Rock (2:44.70) in NR up to 95 on March 27 at $21.

Draws the pegs and could be more competitive from there.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 10th (Fr6) over 2270m at Riverina Paceway beaten 12 m by Seasider (2:40.20) in 4-5yo LR No NR GH on April 4 at $126. The start before 6th (Fr5) over 2270m at Riverina Paceway, beaten 23 m by Sanchez (2:41.30) in 4-5yo No NR GH on March 27 at $101. Suited dropping in grade and draws well.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 5th (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track was leading by 1.73 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Michaywey (1:51.80) in NR up to 85 on March 21 at $1.25. The run previous 7th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 20 m by Captains Mistress (1:48.90) in 4yo LR No NR on February 28 at $19. Best form should see him in the finish.

Last start broke in score up and was out of position at the start 10th (Sr1) over 2260m at Bathurst, well beaten by Ripp (2:42.50) in No NR on March 28 at $19. Before that, 9th (Fr9) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 25 m by Master Catch (1:52.00) in NR up to 105 on March 21 at $12. Can play a role.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 6th (Fr8) over 1609m after racing wide at this track, at the bell was 10th-19.95 beaten 7 m by Hugo Maguire (1:51.30) in No NR on March 27 at $19. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 2 m (Fr9) at this track (1:52.00) beating Hugo Maguire in NR up to 85 on March 21 at $18 at the bell was 3rd-4.31. Use the win two back as a guide to his prospects.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Perfect Stranger at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 85 on March 21 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Heeza Malteeza at this track over 2300m in a NR up to 80 on March 27 at $8.50. Draws out but has top-four prospects.
