Menangle Race 5 - Stronghold Facility Services Pace

GEM N EM NZ (6) has drawn wide in recent runs and failed to fire, including last start when finishing fifth as the favourite over 1609m at this track after she raced with a flat tyre when trying to lead all of the way. Recent efforts are not a true indication. Good enough to put herself right in the finish. Can atone. CHARLIES ACE NZ (3) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can turn things around. OUR UNCLE JIM (5) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m in the same race as the top selection. KELLOSHIEL (1) won here three runs back and from the inside draw has to be respected.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Nothingbutwaves at Penrith over 2125m on August 13 at $16. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Love A Belle at this track over 1609m on August 18 at $31. Hard to beat.
