Menangle Race 3 - Irt Horse Transport Pace
LOUIE LOU I NZ (10) added to his consistent form at this circuit and distance when he came from the extreme outside barrier for third behind a Group 1 performer last week. Draws a little lower and if things go his way he could break through for a well-deserved win. CHICAGO BART (6) continued his good form when he came from a similar barrier to place here last time. Had won three of his previous four outings and steps up to a distance where he owns a decent strike rate. Contender. SOHO AMERICANO (1) has yet to fire this campaign but she strikes at 50 per cent when third up and draws for a nice run so looking for a better result. MAC BON (2) showed improvement for fourth when second-up last week and owns a decent record at this longer distance so could progress further. SAINT CRUSADER (8) deserves respect having continued his consistent form when runner-up last week.

Good performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing fourth behind Snap Shot at this track over 1609m in a 4-020yo+ on June 6 at $2. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Jacks Ultimate Fury at this track over 1609m in a 4-020yo+ on June 13 at $6.50. Racing well and is right in the calculations.
