Menangle Race 5

Established In 1967 Success Stud Pace

Stake: $11,995

THE NITESHIFT (10) has shown good ability in winning his two starts to date including a 14m romp at this circuit and distance on debut. Up in grade and starts from the outside barrier but overcame a second row draw in scoring last time at Penrith and has been kept up to the mark with a solid trial since. COCOS DESIRE (9) draws wider but did a hob in a last-start win over a handy filly at this circuit and distance. She has more upside than most of these. STEEL STRIDE (8) is also drawn deep but has been producing some decent efforts including a Canberra win three back. Go well. VESPA STRIDE (5) is up in grade but has been racing very well, putting together a string of top-two finishes at this circuit and distance.

Didn't do much last start, was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track was 10th-25.34 at the bell, beaten 18 m by Mcbart (1:51.70) in 3yo+ 2LTW so eligible 3yo+ NR55 on March 31 at $41. Before that was well back in the run when 6th (Fr9) over 1609m at this track was 8th-13.97 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Mister Jones (1:52.90) in 3yo+ 2LTW so eligible 3yo+ NR55 on March 24 at $23. Others make more appeal.

Comments

Last start by a head (Fr3) at this track (1:51.60) beating Enola in 3yo 0Ws/TS on April 7 at $5.50 at the bell was 5th-8.79. Draws wide but with even luck she is a leading contender again.

Comes here in the right form. Posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Sr3) at Penrith (2:06.40) beating Designa Label in MAIDEN on March 20 at $1.20 at the bell was 2nd-2.18. Two runs back won by 13 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at this track (1:51.90) beating You Are My Wish in MAIDEN on March 17 at $2.20 at the bell was leading 7.33. Cops the outside barrier but looks a talent.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
