Menangle Race 9 - Nutrien Equine Nsw Breeders Challenge 4yo Mares - Semi Final 1
GUNNA RELOAD (6) will find this easier than her resuming effort in last week's Frith Stakes when she was forced to race three wide. Unbeaten in four second-up attempts so will be a lot better for that outing and strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit and distance. Well-performed mare who should be too good. PEACE OUT (9) comes through the Vicbred Super Series where she came from the back row for fifth in both her heat and in the final. Cops a wide draw but she is capable enough with some luck on her side. A TRUE LOVE (5) has placed in her last two attempts in the country and did produce a couple of close-up efforts here back in August. THE SWIFT ONE (8) and SHE THE DEVIL (7) are both on a quick back-up and are first four hopes with some luck from their wide draws.

Fair run when beaten by 4 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Luv The Nitelife at Penrith over 2125m on October 1 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Gleneagle Ruler at Bathurst over 1730m on October 9 at $5.50. Rates highly. Trifecta hope.

Backs up after she was 9th (Fr6) over 1730 at Bathurst on Wednesday, beaten 13.1m. Before that was well back in the run when 9th (Fr6) over 1730m at Bathurst, beaten 13 m by Shazadele (2:04.20) on October 14 at $23. Could sneak into the exotics.

Not far away at the last couple starts. Backs up after she was 4th (Fr1) over 1730m at Bathurst on Wednesday, beaten 1.4m. Before that finished 1.4 m fourth behind Shazadele at Bathurst over 1730m last start. First four hope with some luck.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 5th (Sr2) over 2240m at Melton, beaten 22 m by The Art Of Success (2:38.60) in 4yo G2 on September 19 at $61. At the previous start 5th (Sr4) over 2180m at Kilmore, at the bell was 5th-11.34 beaten 13 m by The Art Of Success (2:39.50) in 4yo on September 10 at $34. Draws wide but with even luck she is good enough to make an impact.
