Menangle Race 9

Tab Ladyship Pace

Stake: $22,236

Last season's Breeders Crown winner KISS (9) has been racing well at Melton, placing in all three starts since a fresh win. Makes her first visit to Sydney but will appreciate the mile having scored a win and a placing in her two attempts. Draws widest but has the class to overcome that. THE ANSWER (2) led from wider last week to score her second win in three starts at this circuit since joining Michael Stanley. Up in grade but strikes at 50 per cent at this distance and has the speed to take advantage of a low draw. MISSAUDACIOUS (7) comes off a second at Listed level behind Sahara Breeze, a rival Kiss has also placed behind a couple of times of late. Won two of her previous three starts here. Respect. BELLA DANZA (6) draws lower than in her last-start fourth and won here prior. Contender. ZENXENA (3) can be competitive again after placing in her last four starts here, the latest from a much wider barrier.

Solid performance when a close second behind Soho The Real Deal at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 60 on July 21 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.1 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind The Answer at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 75 M on July 26 at $6.50. Player again from the inside draw.

Solid performance when beaten by 2 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Missaudacious at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 80 M on July 12 at $4.40. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind The Answer at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 75 M on July 26 at $11. Thereabouts of late so could feature from a low draw.

Good run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing fourth behind Missaudacious at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 80 M on July 12 at $12. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Sahara Breeze at this track over 1609m in a LR No NR M on July 19 at $21. One for the exotics.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.75 m third behind Sahara Breeze at Melton over 2240m No NR last start. Before that was beaten 1.75 metres third again at Melton in No NR M on June 21. Classy mare good enough to overcome the wide draw.
