Menangle Race 1

Llowalong Farms Pace

Prize Money: $20,400

OAKIE SMOKESHOW (3) scored a game nose win as the odds-on favourite last start over 1609m at this track when after having shown early gate speed raced in behind the leader for most of the trip. He has drawn well and looks well placed to go back-to-back. BETTER ECLIPSE (10) did well to place third of 10 over 2300m at this track last start after racing three-wide without cover. Meets a similar line-up and is worth an each-way ticket. SMOKEN ACE NZ (9) is worth considering following a solid second of 10 at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. Include in exotic bets. QUIET STORM (2) after having placed in both of his previous two runs scored a neck win at this track over 2300m last start when sent out a long odds. Drawn well and can't be discounted.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr9) over 2300m at this track was 7th-14.93 at the bell, beaten 17 m by No Notthebuttons (2:41.80) on July 25 at $18. Two runs back posted a big 8 m win after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Riverina Paceway (2:02.00) beating Kimcando in on July 10 at $4.60 at the bell was leading 1.9. Will need some luck to figure.

Before that, was driven from back in the field when 11th (Fr5) over 2138m after racing wide at Albion Park, beaten 15 m by Ruby Rules (2:29.60) on July 2 at $51. Can make amends.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr10) over 2300m at this track, at the bell was 10th-20.61 beaten 15 m by No Notthebuttons (2:41.80) on July 25 at $126. Two runs back won by a head (Fr7) at Bathurst (2:04.10) beating Baxter Red in on July 15 at $4 at the bell was leading 1.67. This looks a far sterner task.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fifth behind Glitter Aint Gold at this track over 1609m in a LR on July 11 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Huta at this track over 1609m on July 25 at $6. Can improve. Strong chance based on the latest effort.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Fair performance when beaten by 4 m finishing fourth behind Perfect Stride at this track over 1609m on July 11 at $9. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind No Notthebuttons at this track over 2300m on July 25 at $4. Rates highly and expected to be in the finish.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
