Menangle Race 4 - Nutrien Equine 3yo Pace
THE NITESHIFT (7) made an encouraging return off a let-up when he drew the outside barrier and raced parked but fought hard to miss the good filly Senses by a head. Had shown terrific promise in winning his first three starts, two of them at this circuit and distance. Draws lower and should strip fitter so look for a return to the winners' list. NOCTURNAL (10) comes through the Nutrien Classic series at Wagga where he chased the Gold Chalice winner Brooklyn Dan in the heats before another second behind star colt Hollywood Strip in the final. Draws wide but that form reads strongly for this. ALERT BAY (4) has come from wider barriers than this to place in his two outings here off a spell. Should be close to his peak third-up. SOHO PIASTRI (3) is up in grade but led from a wide barrier to win here last time so can be prominent from the more favourable draw.

Beaten favourite last start when third at Riverina Paceway on June 12. Proved too good the start before at Riverina Paceway on May 29. Can be about the money again.

Hard to fault of late. Last start won by 12 m as favourite (Fr8) at this track (1:52.10) beating Explosive Bronski in 3yo+ on June 9 at $1.15 at the bell was leading 4.31. Will benefit from the nice draw. Up in grade but draws well so can play a role again.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.75 m third behind Senses at this track over 1609m 3yo last start. Before that was beaten 1.1 metres second again at this track in on May 23. Close to peak fitness and draws well.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 9th (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early pace at Newcastle was 3rd-6.96 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Spunkys Gotsecrets (1:55.60) on June 12 at $1.95. Two runs back 9th (Fr3) over 2700m at Alexandra Park, beaten 50 m by Jumal (3:20.90) in 3yo on May 1 at $28.40. Disappointed at his Australian debut but suspect he is capable of better.

Last start solid effort when 2nd (Fr10) over 1609m at this track was 2nd-3.63 at the bell, beaten a head by Senses (1:50.80) in 3yo on June 6 at $14. Two runs back 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. Big effort from a wide draw last start so can go one better.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following May 22 run. Last start won by 1.5 m (Fr6) overraced, at Penrith (2:03.50) beating Lochinvar Marcello in 3yo on June 4 at $5 at the bell was leading 1.39. This race will be harder than that win. Not keen this time.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Brooklyn Dan at Riverina Paceway over 2270m in a 3yo CG on May 22 at $3.20. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Hollywood Strip at Riverina Paceway over 2270m in a 3yo LR CG on May 30 at $26. Draws wide but can continue the strong form.
