Menangle Race 3

Confederate Standing At Cobbitty Equine Farm Ffa

Stake: $22,440

IM THE FALCON NZ (10) gave a good account behind Miracle Mile and Inter Dominion winner Don Hugo last start, finishing 4.7m away in second. Draws deep but there are no rivals of that quality tonight so can return to the winners' list. JAY OK (9) overcame a back row draw to find winning form two back at Bathurst before placing behind two topliners here last week. Draws wider but is going well. TERRY (3) was a beaten favourite when fourth last week but he did cover some ground from a wider barrier. He draws to play a role. PETES SAID SO NZ (7) draws wider than last week but this race has less depth. Something for the Multiples: TERRY NZ (3)

Last start 9th (Fr7) over 2300m at this track beaten 40 m by Dom Toretto (2:43.20) in NR up to 95 on April 5 at $9. Before that, was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 15 m by Captain Ravishing (1:50.80) in No NR on March 28 at $81. Draws well so a better showing is on the cards.

Last start was well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Max Delight at this track over 2300m in a No NR on April 5 at $71. Performed better the start before where he won by a nose (Sr4) at Bathurst (2:42.50) beating Smooth Buzz in No NR on March 29 at $7. In form and is capable of taking this out.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after a quick start, behind Don't Stop Dreaming at this track over 2300m in a G2 No NR on March 8 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Don Hugo at this track over 1609m in a No NR on March 22 at $8. Chased a topliner last start so can go one better.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
