Menangle Race 3 - Farewell Helen Pace
HUNGRY JOE (10) won two starts ago then things went wrong last start when he broke and finished a long last over 1720m at Penrith. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Won't find this any harder so he can return to winning ways. HESAA LISTER (4) has been racing very well of late and went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and 3 metres from the winner. Tackles a similar assignment and he can bounce back to winning ways. BIRDY GAL (8) is right in contention after finishing in the placings for the second time in a row last start, beaten a nose into second at this track. No reason she cannot take this out. MICKEY BE NIMBLE (3) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 1609m at this track. Worth a second look.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 6th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track was 9th-16.27 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Cornelius (1:56.70) in 3yo+ on August 4 at $51. Before that 6th (Fr3) over 2030m at Newcastle was 10th-12.72 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Sierra Mist (2:30.00) on July 27 at $101. Not on current form.

Fair performance when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Vespa Stride at this track over 1609m in a 3yo+ on July 14 at $16. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Keayang Domino at Riverina Paceway over 2270m on July 24 at $9. Sure to be prominent.

Last start 5th (Sr2) over 1720m at Young was 5th-11.4 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Berrylicious (2:08.10) in M on August 4 at $7. Two runs back 2nd (Sr2) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, beaten 2.5 m by Alabama Lioness (2:04.80) on July 28 at $4.33. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr4) over 1720m at Penrith well beaten by Jay Bee Lou (2:07.40) on July 30 at $1.22. Showed ability the run before when he tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2.5 m as favourite (Fr4) at Penrith (2:07.00) beating Cornelius in on July 16 at $1.35 at the bell was 3rd-5.42. Better than the last run so worth another chance.
