Menangle Race 3

Michelle Roffe Funeral Services Pace

Stake: $22,236

GOLDEN BAY (7) disappointed over further when midfield as favourite last week but his other two starts over this distance this time in were strong, recording a win and a second at this venue. Could bounce back returning to the mile. BARTELLO (9) has been racing in terrific form and completed a winning hat trick at this circuit when scoring two back. Stepped up to this grade last week and fought well to miss by a head. Draws deep but hard to knock his form. SPECULATING (2) is going well having placed last week to follow a win from this barrier. he can make an impact again. ULTIMATE BIRD (6) was a beaten favourite at Newcastle last start but had won two of his other three starts at this circuit since spell. Respect.

Last start was restrained when 8th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 15 m by Blazing Home (1:50.40) in NR up to 95 on June 29 at $18. Two runs back won by a nose (Fr2) at this track (1:51.10) beating More Gooda in NR up to 80 on June 22 at $16. Others are more appealing.

Last start solid effort when 3rd (Fr4) over 2300m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 5 m by Chase The Stars (2:43.70) in NR up to 80 on June 29 at $5.50. Two runs back won by a neck after showing early speed, (Fr2) at this track (2:46.40) beating Chase The Stars in No NR on June 22 at $6. Capable of another good showing.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing second behind Bartello at this track over 2300m in a No NR on June 15 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third after being restrained, behind My Ultimate Carter at this track over 1609m in a No NR on June 29 at $71. Consider.
