Menangle Race 7 - Irt Trotters Standing Start Hcp

CORMORAN STRIKE NZ (7) made it two straight wins when he scored over 2300m at this track after leading early and then raced in behind the speed. Should jump as a loose favourite and looks hard to roll. WATTS UP THE HILL (1) disappointed last start over 1609m at this track when finishing last of nine as the hot favorite after he raced three-wide and then broke. On his best form can finish in the top-three. PESCO POLLO (9) comes here following a last start fourth at Group Three level over 1609m at this track. Looks Ideally placed to return to form. LOTUS LOUISE (3) looks close to a win after two successive seconds, the latest over 1609m at this track. Drawn well and rates well as a top-three chance.

Fair run when beaten by 6 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Watts Up The Hill at this track over 2300m on July 21 at $3.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Valtino at this track over 1609m on August 4 at $8.50. Bold showing expected again.

Eight-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. Posted a big 11 m win when driven back in the field, (Fr10) held up early, at this track (1:55.80) beating Frankythefrenchman in on August 4 at $8.50 at the bell was 5th-9.45. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into sixth behind Watts Up The Hill at this track over 1609m on July 28 at $9. Not as keen on his chances in this line-up.

Last start 7th (Fr5) over 2300m at this track, at the bell was 8th-15.75 beaten 13 m by Cormoran Strike (2:50.80) on August 1 at $26. Two runs back 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 5th-11.8 beaten 9 m by Cormoran Strike (1:55.90) on July 25 at $12. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Sunny Gee at this track over 2300m on July 11 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Cormoran Strike at this track over 2300m on August 1 at $19. Hard to beat.

Seven-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track. Last start raced just off the speed and boxed on; posted a big 3 m win after showing early speed, (Fr2) at this track (2:50.80) beating Southern Diamond in on August 1 at $6 at the bell was 2nd-4.31. Big chance again.
