Menangle Race 7 - Nutrien Equine Nsw Breeders Challenge 2yo Fillies - Semi Final 1
Gold Tiara winner BIRDSONG (8) has taken her record to six from eight by impressively winning her two starts at this circuit and distance since a spell, cruising home by big margins both times. Cops a wide draw but she looks to have the class edge on these. SHES A DELANEY (7) took her strike rate to 50 per cent when she recorded an easy win last time out, coming from a similar barrier to score by 8 metres at Bathurst. Kept up to the mark with an easy trial win and she is a Pink Bonnet winner at this circuit and distance. FRITH IN FLIGHT (5) is progressing nicely and recorded her third success from her last five outings when winning well at this circuit and distance last week. Can make an impact again. ATOMIK GO ANNA (3) is a consistent filly who is a first-four hope from a good draw as is SABALENKA (2).

Last start was well back in the run when 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 4th-6.86 beaten 10 m by Highview Bonnie (1:55.00) in 2yo on October 6 at $4.80. Two runs back posted a big 6 m win (Sr1) at Young (2:05.90) beating Eleanor Street in 2yo on September 29 at $3.90 at the bell was leading 4.1. Not keen.

Last start game effort when 2nd (Fr3) over 1740m after showing early speed at Riverina Paceway, at the bell was 5th-9.8 beaten 13 m by Comeandsee (2:00.70) in 2yo on September 25 at $17. Two runs back won by 4.5 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at Hobart (1:57.70) beating Kenya in on July 26 at $1.18 at the bell was leading 3.8. Decent effort last start. First four hope from a low draw.

Two back was well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Comeandsee at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in a 2yo on September 25 at $10. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Highview Bonnie at this track over 1609m in a 2yo on October 6 at $1.75. Draws to be competitive.

Racing in great heart. Last start raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 7 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at this track (1:53.60) beating Ferocious Lover in 2yo on October 6 at $3.60 at the bell was 3rd-5.24. Progressive and could challenge.

Going well. Last start ran on from midfield and posted a big 8 m win as favourite (Fr6) at Bathurst (2:04.20) beating Machzine Mahoney in 2yo on September 23 at $1.12 at the bell was leading 2.51. In winning form and is a Listed winner here.

Racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by 12 m as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:53.60) beating Kvitka Stride in 2yo on September 22 at $1.05 at the bell was leading 4.39. Classy filly who is good enough to overcome the wide draw and continue on her winning way.

Didn't do much last time out, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 21 m by Frith In Flight (1:53.60) in 2yo on October 6 at $81. Before that 4th (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early pace at Newcastle, at the bell was 2nd-2.49 beaten 9 m by Sophies Wish (1:56.10) in 2yo on September 25 at $23. Hard to make a case.
