Menangle Race 5 - Club Menangle Frith Stakes (Listed Classic)
LUX AETERNA (8) was very good against a top field last week, finishing fourth to Captains Mistress. Draws wider but will enjoy the return to her own sex and was racing well prior with a string of wins and placings including a victory in the Norms Daughter Stakes from the outside barrier. WICKED CONFESSION (3) bumped into a smart one when runner-up at Melton last week and placed in the Vicbred Super Series 4M Final prior. Scored a win and placed in the Queen Elizabeth II Mile in her last Sydney raid. Big chance from a good draw. GUNNA RELOAD (7) makes her first appearance since a second to Dangerous at Wagga in May. Owns a good fresh record and strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit and distance. GOLLY GEE FELLAS (6) will enjoy the return to mares grade having recorded a dominant win at this circuit and distance last month. IDEAL MOTH (1) has joined Jason Grimson since she won at Kilmore last month. Keep safe from the ace draw.

Comes here in the right form. Won by a head when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at this track (1:52.90) beating Auntie Lou in M on October 3 at $7 at the bell was 4th-11.12. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 2nd (Fr8) over 1609m at this track was 4th-7.54 at the bell, beaten 3 m by Buzz Bomb (1:53.00) on September 26 at $17. Draws well but up in grade so others make more appeal.

Good performance when beaten by 5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind The Art Of Success at Melton over 2240m in a 4yo G2 on September 19 at $3. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Cigano at Melton over 2240m on October 2 at $2.50. Strong claims from a good draw.

Two back was well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Golly Gee Fellas at this track over 1609m in a M on September 19 at $8. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Snap Shot at this track over 1609m in a M on October 3 at $5. Ticking along well so include.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track was 4th-6.46 at the bell, beaten 5.5 m by I Got Chills (1:52.20) on October 3 at $9. Showed ability the run before when she tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 10 m after showing early speed, (Fr5) at this track (1:50.60) beating Sparkling Sea in M on September 19 at $9 at the bell was 2nd-4.37. A return to her own sex could see her back in the winners' list.

Resumes. Finished off last campaign when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Dangerous at Riverina Paceway over 1740m on May 29 at $1.90. Previous preparation first-up came from midfield and posted a big 6 m win when driven back in the field, (Fr7) held up early, at Riverina Paceway (2:47.10) beating Peace Out in 4-5yo M on March 27 at $4.80. Races well fresh and owns a good strike rate at this circuit and distance.

Last start 4th (Fr2) over 2300m after showing early pace at this track, at the bell was 2nd-3.25 beaten 7 m by Captains Mistress (2:42.90) in LR on October 3 at $71. Two runs back tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; posted a big 4 m win after showing early speed, (Fr6) at this track (1:49.80) beating Bella Danza in LR M on September 5 at $5.50 at the bell was 2nd-4.25. Good enough to overcome a wide draw and take this out.
