Menangle Race 4 - Bubba Gump Pest Control Pace
BIRDY GAL (3) has been racing well and deserves a winning turn after having placed second in all of her last three starts, including last start at this track over 1609m. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Recent efforts are good enough to take out a race like this. CLASSICMAJOR (8) finished fourth last start, beaten 15 metres at Newcastle over 1609m. Expected to run well and is worth an each-way ticket. HESAA LISTER (7) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track a week ago. HALLOWEEN (6) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Newcastle. Worth including in exotic bets.

Didn't do much last start, 6th (Sr1) over 1609m at Newcastle beaten 14 m by Captain Dorian (1:55.80) on August 10 at $51. Before that 7th (Fr5) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was 5th-7.86 beaten 10 m by Cornelius (1:56.70) in 3yo+ on August 4 at $41. Must do a lot more.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 m by Racing Writer (1:55.00) in 3yo+ on August 11 at $11. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track was 9th-20.99 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Madazalways (1:55.00) in 3yo+ on August 4 at $11. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

Didn't do much at the last run, 6th (Fr2) over 1720m at Penrith, beaten 9 m by Eternal Gold (2:08.30) on August 13 at $15. Before that was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr3) over 1720m after racing wide at Penrith, at the bell was 9th-15.98 beaten 17 m by Festinalente (2:06.00) on July 30 at $61. Others make more appeal.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Madazalways at this track over 1609m in a 3yo+ on August 4 at $81. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Get Us A Tinny at Newcastle over 1609m on August 10 at $7. One of the better chances.

Fair run when beaten by 3 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Cornelius at this track over 1609m in a 3yo+ on August 4 at $1.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Racing Writer at this track over 1609m in a 3yo+ on August 11 at $6.50. Recent form sound and he should be in the finish.
