Menangle Race 7 - Yabby Dam Farms 3yo Pace
ZEUS LIGHTNING NZ (6) is a progressive former Kiwi who was a class above his rivals when cruising home by 13.5m first up, taking his strike rate at this circuit and distance to 50 per cent. Had form around Hollywood Strip last campaign including a second to him at Listed level and a fourth in the NSW Derby. That is strong form and he looks bound for better things. THE NITESHIFT (11) is a promising gelding unbeaten in three starts, two of them coming circuit and distance. Draws very wide but overcame a similar barrier in his last outing and while that was seven weeks ago he has easily won a trial since. SENSES (5) is a talented filly who charged home for second two back in the NSW Oaks before beating the boys last time. Draws wider and there is more depth to this but she is on the up. ALERT BAY (4) will be fitter for his resuming second from wider here last start and was runner-up to Zeus Lightning in a Derby heat prior. ENJABONARLO (7) must be respected off back-to-back wins.

Comes here in the right form. Won by 4.5 m when quickly away, (Fr5) at this track (1:51.50) beating Snap Shot in M on May 23 at $4 at the bell was 3rd-3.32. Two runs back 4th (Fr4) over 1740m after showing early speed at Riverina Paceway, beaten 8 m by Snap Shot (2:01.20) in M on May 15 at $1.90. Capable and draws well but facing a tough assignment this time around.

Having his second run back from a spell. Good run despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.1 m by Enjabonarlo (1:51.40) on May 23 at $3.60. Fitter so can progress.

Racing consistently. Last start won by 6 m as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:51.60) beating Nocturnal in 3yo on May 16 at $1.22 at the bell was leading 4.18. Tackles some smart ones but she is a filly on the up.

Resumes. Finished off last campaign when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Beyond Doubt at Bathurst over 1730m on March 25 at $3.20. Previous preparation first-up ran on from midfield and posted a big 5.5 m win when quickly away, (Fr7) at Bathurst (2:06.40) beating Ruffian in 3yo on February 11 at $3.30. Draws wide but won his lone fresh attempt and has upside.

Unbeaten. Won by 2 m (Fr9) at this track (1:52.60) beating Cocos Desire in 3yo+ on April 14 at $2.10 at the bell was 2nd-3.86. Two runs back won by 6 m as favourite (Sr3) at Penrith (2:06.40) beating Designa Label in on March 20 at $1.20 at the bell was 3rd-4.4m 2WNC. Draws widest but has done nothing wrong so far.
