Menangle Race 9

Fran Fitzpatrick Cheryl Mcdowell Pink Bonnett (Group 3)

Prize Money: $30,600

SHES A DELANEY (3) has been freshened since she drew poorly and worked in the Gold Tiara final but easily won a heat of that series prior. The only time she raced here she came from a wider barrier for fourth against the boys in the Sapling Stakes. She draws well and looks nicely placed. CANDY GIRL MARLEY (1) is a daughter of Somebeachsomewhere on debut for the strong Luke McCarthy stable. Close up in her latest trial and the inside draw is an aid to a first starter. Blake Fitzpatrick's Downbytheseaside debutant DECOUPAGE (7) draws wide but showed ability in beating CANDY GIRL MARLEY to win her latest trial. WALLABY WAY (8) draws wide but did a good job as runner-up from this barrier at Bathurst last start.

Last start was well beaten into eighth behind Birdsong at Bathurst over 1730m in a 2yo G1 No NR F on March 28 at $10. Raced better the start before that where she won by 15 m as favourite (Fr4) at Bathurst (2:03.70) beating La Cantatrice in 2yo No NR F on March 18 at $1.33 at the bell was leading 4.61. Smarty filly who should get every chance from this draw.

Solid run when beaten by 2 m finishing second behind Passion And Pain at Newcastle over 1609m in a 2yo NR up to 55 on April 2 at $14. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Tuapeka Gold at Penrith over 1720m in a 2yo NR up to 55 on April 23 at $17. Worth including in exotics.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following March 28 run. Last start won by 4.5 m after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Dubbo (2:10.20) beating Wickedly Smooth in 2yo MAIDEN on April 10 at $3.70 at the bell was leading 2. This race will be harder than that win. This may be too much of a step up.
