Menangle Race 4 - Irt Pace
SWEET STRIKE (3) battled on well to finish fourth of 10 over 1609m at this track last start when well supported. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a soft trip in the running and he looks well placed to rake this race out. JANIE BLU (1) is looking to improve on her last-start second in a Listed event over 1609m at this track a week ago after having raced four-back on the fence for most of the trip. Drawn well and looks well placed to go one better. YA RACIN ARLO (5) is the next best after finishing third over 2300m at this track last time out. He has won two of his last four starts and is well worth considering. BAXTER RED (9) finished last of 10 here last time out but is worth another chance having getting badly checked in the running. Include in exotic bets.

Fair run when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Magic Joe at this track over 1609m in a 4yo+ on August 15 at $31. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing second behind I Got Chills at this track over 1609m in a 4yo+ LR on August 22 at $61. In fine form. Sure to be there at the business end.

Last start 4th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track was 4th-5 at the bell, beaten 4 m by Nugget Rogers (1:52.60) on August 22 at $3.90. Before that, was well back in the run when 5th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 m by Buzz Bomb (1:50.50) in 4yo+ on August 8 at $7. This looks a nice assignment so watch for a better run.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start was driven from back in the field when 10th (Fr7) over 2300m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 40 m by Bettorlightem Up (2:43.20) in 4yo+ on August 22 at $5. The start before broke in score up and was out of position at the start 10th (Sr1) over 1730m at Bathurst well beaten by Alfnalma (2:01.70) on August 19 at $5. Hasn't drawn the best again but he can find winning form.
