Menangle Race 5 - For A Reason Standing At Cobbitty Equine Farm Pace

FIRESTRIKE (10) showed good ability in winning both starts at this circuit and distance at his maiden campaign. Hasn't raced since April but has trialled a couple of times and may have developed further with maturity. Cops the outside barrier but has the gate speed to offset that. SURF ACE (2) was far from disgraced from a wider barrier in a higher-graded race last start. Good effort prior and should get his chance from this draw. HYKEEPMEPOSTED (7) looks to have the hoof on the till after placing in his last three outings at this circuit and distance, the latest from this barrier when he raced parked but boxed on for second. GIMME A REASON (6) is another that could close to a win after two successive placings here.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Bettine at Penrith over 1720m on August 27 at $23. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Rio De Janeiro Blue at this track over 1609m in a 3yo+ on September 8 at $15. Heading the right way now.

Five-year-old entire racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by a nose as favourite when quickly away, (Fr6) at this track (1:56.70) beating Double Needs in 3yo+ on September 8 at $2 at the bell was leading 2.48. In form but faces both a class rise and a wide draw.

Resuming after a spell of four-and-a-half months. Finished off last campaign recording by 3 m as favourite (Fr7) at this track (1:53.30) beating American Boxer in 3yo+ on April 28 at $1.33 at the bell was 2nd-.9m 2WNC. Previous preparation first-up won by 5 m as favourite (Fr9) at this track (1:52.90) beating Captains Delight in on April 14 at $1.55. Promising and has the speed to overcome the wide draw.
