Kembla Grange Race 3

Rainmaker Bushfire Sprinklers Mdn Plate

Stake: $45,780

MENSHEVIK (9) trailed in a runaway winner last start in a small field but his first-up effort was solid in the wet. Still has his best run ahead of him, you'd think. DECORUM (8) attracts interest after two close-up trial showings. Blinkers go on and a fair draw helps his cause. BENDRODT (1) raced really well without winning last prep and arrives with two mixed trial efforts under his belt. Resumes without a stablemate in sight which adds to his strong appeal. Ideally placed. MELODIA LEGEND (2) has been improving in recent trials and stable picks out a sweet career kick-off option. Gets real respect with a senior rider on. Market watch advised. ZOUSTRONG (4) is yet to hit a wet track but is trained on track. Fitness is no issue and should be strong late.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old gelding by Too Darn Hot out of Slow Burn. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 1050m at Randwick July 11. Did not show a great deal at the trials and prefer to see in a race before backing.

Raced twice to date. At debut, 4th of 11 at Moruya Mdn on July 11 over 1200m, slow going 3.5 len behind Gooloo Bucky carrying 56.5kg at $17. Second-up sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 8 at Sapphire Coast Mdn-Sw on July 27 over 1400m, slow going 5.5 len behind London Star carrying 56.5kg at $2.50. Has improvement to come and is likely to run well again.
