Menangle Race 2 - Be Happy Mach @ Wingate Farm 2yo Pace

SOHO ASTER (3) did well to finish second as the favourite last start when trying to lead all of the way in a Group One event over 1730m at Bathurst, beaten 4 metres by Birdsong. Drawn well so a first-up win is on the cards. STEELY ZAC (7) was once again right in the mix last start when runner-up over 1720m at Penrith, beaten a nose. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Has the class to take this out. RISEABOVETHEREST (6) finished sixth last start in a Group One over 1730m at Bathurst, beaten 16 metres by Jacwill Kid. Ready to make a bright return. GUNNAREASON (2) is taking on a far easier race this time after finishing seventh in a Group One at her latest appearance over 1730m at Bathurst, beaten 25 metres by Birdsong. Ideally drawn and is a serious threat while fresh. Include in combinations.

Resumes today. His previous first-up run was successful when he failed to make any headway until the straight; raced back and made ground from the turn; won by 3 m when driven back in the field, (Fr4) held up early, at Penrith (2:07.90) beating Backfromthebrink in on March 5 at $13. Will be better for the run.
