Menangle Race 2 - Bestinbeds.com.au Pace
HUNGRY HIPPO (4) put the writing on the wall in his latest appearance at this circuit and distance, beaten only a head into second. Draws a couple of spots closer to the pegs so could go one better. HUXTON NZ (2) led and faded last time but had won twice in row here prior. Those were at a mile so the distance is some query but he has the speed to take advantage of a low draw. ARGGGHHH (5) could be further improved third-up so is in contention after coming from wider to score in this grade here last start. FARFALLA STRIDE (1) has placed in all four starts here this time in, the latest in a Listed contest for the mares. Tackles the boys this time but should enjoy a soft run from the ace draw. DESSIE GEE (7) bombed the start last time but had been ticking along well in good company prior.

Gave plenty of ground last start when well beaten into eighth behind Our Sunset Delight at this track over 2300m on September 26 at $3.60. Raced better the start before that where he 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 at the bell was leading 6.08. Drawn favourably and deserves another chance.

Last start broke in score up and was out of position at the start 10th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, well beaten by Dangerous (1:48.50) on October 10 at $21. Before that, 4th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track was 2nd-9.36 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Dangerous (1:50.00) on September 26 at $23. Better placed so is capable of a better showing.
