Menangle Race 7 - D M Plumbing Pace
STARTIN TO GOGH (5) was last seen in the Vicbred Super Series at Melton in November but has put together a string of wins or placings in NSW prior. Has performed well when fresh before and should be ready to go off a couple of trials. JETTER SON (9) led as favourite last week but couldn't see it out and clocked in fifth. Came from this barrier for third in a higher-graded race than this here two back so is up to winning with his A-game. The outside barrier poses a new challenge for MYTH YOU ALREADY (10) but his form is hard to knock having recorded two wins and a placing from his last three attempts at this circuit and distance. BETTORLIGHTEM UP (6) will be fitter for his last-start fourth when resuming at Newcastle and he draws a little lower.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Sr3) over 1720m at Penrith, beaten 16 m by Nicely Spoken (2:03.50) in NR 55 to 58 on April 16 at $9. Showed ability the run before when he won by 1.1 m (Sr2) at Penrith (2:04.00) beating Captain Blood in NR up to 52 on April 9 at $10 at the bell was 5th-7.91. Draws well so could be about the money.

Returns after five months in the paddock. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into eleventh after being driven well back, behind New Shuffle at Melton over 2240m in a 3yo No NR CG on November 15 at $151. Readied with two trials and could be hard to beat while fresh.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr8) over 1609m at Newcastle was 7th-8.39 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Mister Quirk (1:53.10) in NR up to 62 on April 10 at $4.40. Two runs back game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 2422m at Maitland, at the bell was 8th-9.9+m beaten 15 m by Loyal Lou (2:57.70) in 3yo+ LR 5 WINs on December 27 at $14. Solid prospect with that run under the belt.

Hard to fault of late. Last start won by a head as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr4) at this track (1:52.30) beating D J Rock in 3yo+ 2LTW so eligible 3yo+ NR55 on April 7 at $1.70 at the bell was 2nd-7.17. Draws widest but in form so can feature in the finish again.
