Menangle Race 6 - Woodlands Stud 3yo Pace
Boom colt LOUCASSO (7) was just too good in his comeback victory here a fortnight ago when he led from this barrier and kept going. That was his first outing for nearly nine months so should only be better for it. He is two from two when second-up and has to go on top. ALERT BAY (5) stuck on well for second to LOUCASSO last time, only 2.8m behind him. That added to a string of top-three results including a win from wider three back. He can be competitive again. ANDRETTI (3) was a class above when he led to score easily last week at Bathurst. This is harder but he draws to go forward again. THE QUEENS GAMBIT NZ (6) faces her toughest yet since switching from NZ but has been impressive in winning her two Australian starts so far, one at this circuit and distance when she overcome the outside barrier.

Well beaten last start by The Queens Gambit, who she meets again; was restrained, when 25 metres ninth at Bathurst over 1730m in a race on September 9. Hard to enthuse.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 m by Ethans Revenge (1:54.10) in 3yo on September 12 at $3.70. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Loucasso (1:49.50) in 3yo on September 5 at $41. Finds a few better. Not keen.

Finished up last campaign with a win at Shepparton, and continued with decent results this campaign with a first-up effort 4th (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 7 m by Uptown Chance (1:52.30) in 3yo on August 29 at $1.60. Then last start won by 13 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at Bathurst (2:03.20) beating Interestinme in 3yo on September 9 at $1.25 at the bell was leading 3.37. Draws for a good showing,

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Wicked Wizard at this track over 1609m on August 22 at $1.75. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Loucasso at this track over 1609m in a 3yo on September 5 at $5. Can continue the good form.

Scored at her last two starts. Last start won by 9 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at Bathurst (2:03.70) beating Judah Red in on September 9 at $1.17 at the bell was leading 3.78. Hard to leave out on current form. Tougher task here but hard to knock what she has done in Australia so far.

Last start 10th (Fr7) over 2240m at Melton, at the bell was 6th-8.82 beaten 19 m by Most Exciting (2:40.00) in 3yo on September 5 at $51. Two runs back 3rd (Fr2) over 2180m after showing early pace at Kilmore, beaten 1.2 m by Soho Charmer (2:37.10) in 3yo on August 27 at $2.80. Capable but a wide draw won't make this easy.
