Menangle Race 4 - Llowalong Farms 3yo Pace
OPAS GIRL NZ (9) has yet to miss the top-three since crossing from NZ including a Wagga win after a tough run and a couple of placings here. Draws wide but was tough again last start, missing narrowly after racing parked. Big chance with even luck. SEASIDE DRIVE (10) led and cruised home by 16 metres at Goulburn last start, her second success from her last three outings. Draws wide but she placed the last time she raced here and looks to have progressed since. Former US pacer RINGIN THE CAPTAIN USA (4) is an intriguing runner, having his first Australian start since joining Luke McCarthy. Hasn't raced for a year but draws well and should be ready to go off a recent trial placing. CENT FOR PLEASURE (8) was held up last week but had kicked off the campaign with back-to-back placings here and should be peaking.

Last start 4th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track was 5th-7.47 at the bell, beaten 8 m by La Familia (1:54.10) in 3yo+ on September 8 at $61. Two runs back failed to finish when she ran at Penrith on May 21 over 1720m. Exotic prospect with that run under the belt.
