Menangle Race 4 - Be Good Johnny Ffa
DANGEROUS (10) looks a standout here. He came from this barrier to win by more than 5m when resuming at this circuit and distance a fortnight ago, his first hitout since July's Inter Dominion series. He should only be better for that outing and looks a class above these. DESSIE GEE (8) was far from disgraced when 6m behind DANGEROUS last start and was runner-up at this circuit and distance prior. Draws wider but is ticking along well. SERG BLANCO NZ (1) hasn't performed to market expectations in two outings for Jason Grimson but has come from wider barriers each time. The ace draw gives him the chance to show his best. CAPTAIN BELLASARIO (6) has first four claims off a placing behind the flying Captains Knock two back.

10-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. Was well back in the run when 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 6th-13.04 beaten 2 m by Ripp (1:51.10) on October 3 at $23. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into ninth behind South Seas Rock at this track over 1609m on September 26 at $13. Rough exotic hope.

Second up after running was well back in the run when 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at Newcastle was 8th-15.1 at the bell, beaten a head by Piccadilly Pete (1:51.90) on October 2 at $14. Not going well enough. Wouldn't shock to see him in the exotics.

Resumed from a 70-day break with a strong win from midfield and posted a big 5 m win as favourite (Fr10) at this track (1:50.00) beating Springfield Affair in on September 26 at $1.75 at the bell was 4th-14.33. Won from this barrier fresh and looks a level above these.
