Menangle Race 3 - Nutrien Equine Pace
HUXTON NZ (3) has put two wins together at this venue, leading from wider barriers each time. Tries this longer distance for the first time but should be able to push forward again from a low draw so can land the hat trick. Hard to knock the recent consistency of stablemate OUR SUNSET DELIGHT (5) who returned to the winners' list over this distance here last week, adding to a series of top-two results. More depth here but he draws lower. ARGGGHHH (9) hasn't raced since November but ended last campaign with back-to-back seconds here. Draws wide but goes well fresh with three wins and five placings from 10 attempts and has been readied with two trials. ROCKNROLL HAMMER NZ (11) may need luck from the outside barrier but he is racing well and has recorded a win and a second in two tries at this distance. A lower draw can see a better result from HUNGRY HIPPO (7).

Two back was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Vite Monet at this track over 2300m on September 5 at $7. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Bartello at this track over 1609m on September 19 at $10. Could make his presence felt from the inside draw.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr8) over 2300m at this track, at the bell was 6th-9.33 beaten 17 m by Quiet Storm (2:42.60) on September 5 at $34. At his previous start solid effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.3 m by Im Rockin It (1:51.10) on August 29 at $14. Draws well so could be thereabouts.

Four-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start posted a big 4 m win as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:51.10) beating Farfalla Stride in on September 12 at $1.25. Draws well so can get the job done again.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 4.5 m as favourite (Fr8) at this track (2:41.30) beating Saint Crusader in 4yo+ on September 19 at $1.50 at the bell was 2nd-3.71. Look for another strong showing.

Showed ability the outing before when he won by 2 m after showing early speed, (Fr9) at this track (1:52.30) beating Janie Blu in 4yo+ on August 29 at $6.50. In the mix on the form from two back.

Last start 9th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 7th-16.77 beaten 15 m by Springfield Affair (1:49.40) on September 19 at $23. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr9) over 2300m at this track beaten 40 m by Captains Knock (2:39.00) in LR on September 12 at $51. Draws wide so will need some luck to figure.

Good performance when beaten by 5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Vite Monet at this track over 2300m on September 5 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Springfield Affair at this track over 1609m on September 12 at $9.50. Draws wide but with luck he is one of the contenders.
