Menangle Race 6

Hyland Harness Gear Pace

Stake: $10,796

RAKADEAKS (6) finished third at this track two runs ago before a less impressive effort at his latest appearance over 2300m at this track. He has won a trial since that last start and can bounce straight back into form. PETES CRUNCH TIME (4) turned in another sound performance last start when he battled on well to finish fourth over 1609m at this track. This is a nice drop in grade so he is a major player. HARRYS DEAL (5) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at Bathurst over 1730m. Genuine threat. STARTIN TO GOGH (1) has drawn to advantage and should give backers a great sight. Watch closely.

Back in form at the last couple of outings, two starts back ran on from midfield and won by 18 m (Fr5) at Penrith (2:03.40) beating The County Sheriff in NR up to 47 on June 19 at $4.20 at the bell was leading 4.04. Last start just missed, game effort when 2nd (Sr3) over 1720m at Penrith was 2nd-0.14 at the bell, beaten a nose by Gottadobettor (2:05.00) in NR up to 50 on June 26 at $1.12. Rates highly and expected to go well from a low draw.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing seventh after showing early speed, behind Zenxena at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 60 on May 27 at $4.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Shell Shock at Bathurst over 1730m in a NR up to 55 on June 25 at $4.40. Can improve. Gets his chance to break through.

Last start was well beaten into tenth after showing early speed, behind Miraculous at this track over 2300m in a 4-020yo+ 0W/20K Stakes on June 7 at $9. Performed better the start before with a good run when 3rd (Fr7) over 1609m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track, beaten 3.5 m by Tomahawk Bart (1:53.20) in 4-020yo+ 0W/20K Stakes on May 31 at $11.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Master Charles at Albion Park over 2138m in a NR up to 70 on April 25 at $41. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Coastal Drive at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 60 on June 24 at $51. Should strip fitter and play a role in the finish.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Racing in great heart. Last start won by 1.75 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Penrith (2:05.80) beating Okay Gringo in NR up to 55 on June 26 at $1.55 at the bell was leading 1.37. Racing well and is capable of going back-to-back.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Last start good run when 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 24 m by Lux Aeterna (1:50.00) in 4-020yo+ 0W/20K Stakes on June 28 at $19. Two runs back won by 2.25 m (Fr2) at this track (1:53.00) beating Valiente Hanover in NR up to 60 on June 10 at $5 at the bell was 3rd-4.41. Decent effort last start. Each way claims.
