Menangle Race 7

Cannibal Standing At Cobbitty Equine Farm Pace

Stake: $22,440

ALIBERTO (5) hasn't raced since he campaigned in Queensland over the winter but had good form prior and has built a handy record at this circuit and distance. Won the only time he was fresh and was readied with a decent trial so could make a winning return. SWELL TIME (4) returns after 10 months on the sidelines but she goes well fresh having won twice first-up before. Readied with a recent trial so can make an impact. MICHAEL CAINE (3) hasn't been too far from the placings of late, coming from wider barriers in his last couple of outings. Draws to play a role. CHARLIES ACE (8) draws wide but her form is good enough to measure up in this line-up while MAJOR STATEMENT (7) could feature again after finding winning form here on Tuesday.

Resuming after ten months off the scene. Finished off last preparation when beaten by 9 m finishing sixth after being driven well back, behind Bluto at this track over 1609m in a No NR on March 23 at $51. Previous preparation first-up came from midfield and won by a nose as favourite (Fr7) at Newcastle (1:55.40) beating Sir Richard Lee in NR up to 90 on October 20 2023 at $4.20. Rates highly. Expect a strong showing.
