Menangle Race 1 - Bestinbeds.com.au Pace
ON DASHER (1) has shown big talent in overcoming tricky draws to win his two starts to date. Worked forward from the extreme outside before finding the front and saluting by 7.6m here last week. This is a big class jump but he gets the ace draw. GOODTIME LOUIS (5) made a solid start in NSW when he finished third at this circuit and distance last week, beaten 4 metres. Likely to have come on from that so is capable of getting the job done. MICK DANGER (6) draws wide but did well in scoring by 1.6 metres in a higher-graded race at this circuit and distance last week. Could go on with it now that he is back in winning form. A good draw gives NOVANTA RISING (3) the chance to show his best while BARTELLO (10) may require luck from a wide barrier but is suited back in class having won here the last time he raced in this grade.

Comes here in the right form. Posted a big 7 m win as favourite (Fr10) at this track (1:52.20) beating Rocknroll Clarry in 3yo+ on October 13 at $1.22 at the bell was leading 5.45. Two runs back posted a big 40 m win as favourite (Sr4) at Penrith (2:03.60) beating Sweet Louvre in on September 24 at $1.33 at the bell was leading 12.53. Tougher test but is progressive the ace draw could see him deliver again.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track was 10th-16.86 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Neptunite (1:52.60) on October 17 at $101. Showed ability the race before when she posted a big 6 m win (Fr2) at Newcastle (2:27.50) beating Cheddar Valley in on October 7 at the bell was 4th-6.88. Draws well so can improve.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 7th (Fr3) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, beaten 30 m by Nyack (1:59.60) on October 4 at $26.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following October 4 run. Last start was well back before the turn; posted a big 3.5 m win (Fr5) overraced, at Riverina Paceway (2:45.10) beating Donnie Mac in on October 9 at $11 at the bell was 6th-9.7. This race will be harder than that win. Draws wide so looking to others.
