Menangle Race 7 - Club Menangle Rod And Fran Fitzpatrick Tatlow Stakes (Listed Classic)
HES A DANCER (3) won on debut two runs back over 1660m at Albion Park as the favourite after racing three-wide over the early stages. Never fired last start over 1660m at Albion Park after breaking early. Jason Grimson trained colt who will be well supported to return to winning form. OH ITS ON (8) won his maiden race two runs back at Albion Park, then finished seventh of nine last start over 1660m at Albion Park after breaking in the score up and then racing outside the leader. Stablemate to the top selection and is worth another chance. BLISSFUL LOVER (1) is looking for black-type success after suffering a defeat last time out at Bathurst after getting checked early and then racing outsider the leader. From the inside draw has to be respected. RISEABOVETHEREST (6) finished third last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 metres after racing outside the leader for most of the trip. Include in exotic bets.

Failed to impress last start; 10th (Sr1) over 1660m at Albion Park, well beaten by Havtimemajor (1:55.20) in 2yo G1 on July 11 at $26. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 1.2 m (Fr3) at Albion Park (1:57.40) beating Harry The Hat in 2yo on June 30 at $2.20 at the bell was leading.8m 2WNC. Best form puts him right in this.

Resuming after three months off the scene. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into ninth behind Smack Bang Bart at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in a 2yo LR CG on May 30 at $17. Previous preparation first-up won by 15 m after showing early speed, (Fr1) at Newcastle (1:56.20) beating Passion And Pain in 2yo on April 17 at $3.10. First-up winner in the past and is a leading contender.

Having his second run back from a spell. Solid effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track was leading by 1.25 at the bell, beaten 3 m by Soho Aster (1:56.00) in 2yo on August 18 at $9. Sure to be in the mix.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track was 3rd-5.13 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Soho Aster (1:56.00) in 2yo on August 18 at $41. Two runs back was well back in the run when 5th (Fr6) over 1720m at Penrith was 6th-6.2m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 17 m by Passion And Pain (2:08.70) in 2yo on April 30 at $9.50. Hard to make a case in this field.
