Menangle Race 1 - Ule Hoof Oil Pace
I GOT CHILLS NZ (11) added to a long string of wins and placings when he led and dug deep to get home last week, his third success from his last four outings here. The wide draw presents a challenge but he is going well enough to overcome it. VAN BASTEN (1) has been coming from much wider barriers of late and did manage a win here three back. Should get every chance from the ace draw. ULTIMATE CRUZA (3) was far from disgraced from a wide draw last week and had won two of his previous four outings. He is better served by this barrier. BUZZ BOMB (6) draws wider and rises in grade but was good when leading throughout at this circuit and distance last time. MAGIC JOE (8) deserves respect after winning from this barrier at Wagga last start.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr9) over 1609m at this track was 9th-18.17 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Wicked Wizard (1:51.60) on October 3 at $15. The start before was well back in the run when 8th (Fr7) over 2300m at this track, at the bell was 5th-11.82 beaten 18 m by Nymbal (2:41.50) in LR on September 19 at $34. Drawn well this time and expected to finish closer.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 6th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track was 7th-13.06 at the bell, beaten 6 m by I Got Chills (1:52.20) on October 3 at $23. Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 5 m win as favourite (Fr6) at Newcastle (1:53.50) beating Walter Warlock in on September 25 at $2 at the bell was leading 2.98. Capable of playing a major role from a good draw.

Hard to fault of late. Last start won by a head as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at this track (1:52.20) beating Erupt Stride in on October 3 at $1.80 at the bell was leading 2.15. Draws wide but going well enough to overcome it.
