Menangle Race 8

Goulburn First National Real Estate Trotters Mobile

Stake: $22,236

JOHNS BOY (3) finished out of the money two back at Bendigo, then went a better race last time out when coming home well to finish a nose second over 2300m at this track. From a good draw he looks well placed to go one better. MACHO MAN (7) won at this track two starts back before finishing second to the hot favourite over 1609m at this track last start. Won't find this line-up any tougher and he can return to winning form. SHEETWEB WEAVER (6) is worth some thought after finishing fourth fresh-up over 2300m at this track last time out when racing outside the leader over the final stages. Fitter and is well worth considering. RAKERO BLAZE (11) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start when beating the top selection over 2300m at this track after leading all of the way. Has a tough draw to overcome but she is racing well and can't be discounted.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Hoppy at Bendigo over 2150m in a No NR on July 23 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Rakero Blaze at this track over 2300m in a No NR on August 2 at $6. Likely to play a major role.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 25 m by Im Bobby (1:54.30) in No NR on August 9 at $26. Two runs back 3rd (Fr4) over 2300m at this track, beaten 20 m by Leaf Stride (2:50.20) in NR up to 85 on July 19 at $7. Hard to have on those efforts.

Continued his steady form from last campaign first-up. Returned to racing with a 4th (FT Fr9) over 2300m at this track, beaten 7 m by Rakero Blaze (2:55.00) in No NR on August 2 at $5.50. Won last start in his previous preparation at this track over 2300m NR up to 70. Ready to make some headway. Will come on from that run and is a strong winning hope.

Last start solid effort when 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track was 3rd-4.36 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Im Bobby (1:54.30) in No NR on August 9 at $19. Two runs back posted a big 4.5 m win (Fr1) at this track (1:55.30) beating Courage Stride in NR up to 85 on June 28 at $14 at the bell was 3rd-10m 2WWC. Capable of playing a major role.

Six-year-old mare is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at this track both over 2300m. Last start won by a nose as favourite (FT Fr7) at this track (2:55.00) beating Johns Boy in No NR on August 2 at $4.40. Sure to be there at the business end.
