Menangle Race 2

Bestinbeds.com.au Pace

Stake: $22,032

QUIET STORM (1) continues to race well at this circuit, placing in all three outings since recording back-to-back wins. Has come from wider barriers in each of those so the ace draw gives him every chance to return to the winners' stall. SWEET ON LEXY (3) is smart three-year-old who led from a similar draw and dominated last start at Forbes. Has won here before and can measure up to the older rivals again. SPRINGFIELD AMORE (8) is a progressive colt who missed narrowly when resuming from a year on the sidelines before winning easily at Wagga. Draws out but is on the up. FRANCO TYSON (9) draws wide tonight but deserves respect off back-to-back wins.

Solid run when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third behind Sheffield Sparky at this track over 2300m in a NR up to 80 on April 12 at $2.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Franco Tyson at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 80 on April 26 at $2.90. Gets his chance from this draw.

Last start game effort when 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 5 m by Franco Tyson (1:51.40) in NR up to 80 on April 26 at $13. Two runs back won by 2 m when quickly away, (Fr5) at this track (2:46.40) beating Red Reactor in NR up to 80 on April 12 at $2.90. Draws to play a role again.

Finished up last campaign with a win at Bathurst, and continued with decent results this campaign with a first-up effort good run when 2nd (Fr3) over 1730m after showing early speed at Bathurst, at the bell was 2nd-3.98 beaten a nose by No Luck (2:01.60) in NR up to 52 on April 9 at $3.70. Then last time posted a big 11 m win as favourite (Sr2) at Riverina Paceway (2:02.50) beating My Bula Bus in NR up to 65 on April 19 at $1.60. Strips fitter third-up and could go on with the job.

Scored at his last two starts. Last start won by 1.5 m (Fr1) at this track (1:51.40) beating Quiet Storm in NR up to 80 on April 26 at $4.80. Hard to leave out on current form. Draws wide but winning form must be respected.
