Menangle Race 10 - Nutrien Equine Nsw Breeders Challenge 4yo Mares - Semi Final 2
Accomplished mare SUGAR PIE HONEY (4) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months and looks to be right up to the mark following a placing in a recent trial. She is a two-time fresh winner and her strike rate at this circuit and distance stands at 50 per cent. She looks tough to stop although the best form of SMIRKIN SERENE (1) would see her as challenger given her ace draw. She came from the back row and got close when placed fresh at Newcastle and has won two of three second-up attempts so should have come on. NAMAKA (8) cops a wide draw but she has yet to miss a place when second-up so is open to improvement. RIKIBREAL (5) is worth including after a decent effort from out wide last start and a fourth here prior.

Second-up here following a spell. Solid effort when 3rd (Sr2) over 1609m at Newcastle, at the bell was 3rd-4.54 beaten a head by Montalbano (1:53.40) on October 2 at $3. Fitter and the ace draw gives her a chance to challenge.

Last start 4th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track was 3rd-8.67 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Lexus Lou (1:51.30) on October 13 at $41. Two runs back came from midfield and won by 1.75 m (Fr8) at this track (1:53.60) beating Kelloshiel in on October 6 at $8 at the bell was 6th-8.92. This looks a tough test.

Resuming after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into twelfth behind Ruby Rules at Albion Park over 2138m on July 2 at $9. Strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit and distance and is very well placed for a winning return.
