Menangle Race 5 - Club Menangle Alf Phillis Ffa (Listed Classic)

MAX DELIGHT (10) finished eighth of 13 last start in the Interdominion Final over 2680m at Albion Park after he raced three-wide over the early stages. Looks better placed here and will be sent out as the favourite. Should be winning. SAO PAULO SIMBA (7) made it four straight wins when scoring over 2300m at this track by a head after having raced outside the leader for most of the trip. Looks the main danger to the top selection. ERUPT STRIDE NZ (1) was an impressive winner last start over 1609m at this track as the odds-on favourite when leading all of the way. Will start at long odds but from the inside draw can fall into a place. BETTERTHANCASH NZ (8) finished a head second at Listed level over 1609m at this track last start. Worth including in exotic bets for value.

Last start was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Captains Mistress at Albion Park over 2680m on July 18 at $71. Performed better the start before with a game effort when 2nd (Sr4) over 2138m after racing wide at Albion Park beaten 6 m by Leap To Fame (2:29.50) in LR on July 11 at $61. Rates highly. Hard to go past on best form.

Steps out over an extra 691m after a solid effort last start; won by 3 m (Fr8) at this track (1:52.40) beating Smooth Buzz in on August 1 at $6.50 at the bell was 2nd-2.15 Raced well last start but will be tested by this assignment. This looks a far sterner task.
