Menangle Race 4

Be Happy Mach @ Wingate Farm Pace

Stake: $22,236

ROCK N ROLL DOO (4) finished sixth last start, beaten 25 metres at this track over 1609m afetr getting checked with 800m to run. Has been racing in slightly better line-ups and looks well placed to return to form. MAJOR PERRY (3) finished fifth last start, beaten 21 metres at this track over 1609m after having led early then getting pushed back to six-back on the fence. From his good draw is well worth an each-way ticket. HORN PLAYER (8) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fifth at this track over 2300m after having trailed the leader after taking over the front in the early running. Hard to find fault. SKYLORD (5) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1609m at this track last time out at long odds after he was caught out wide after starting from the widest draw. Include in exotic bets.

Didn't do much last time out, 10th (Fr6) over 1609m after being wide early at this track beaten 20 m by Betterthancash (1:50.90) in NR up to 95 on August 23 at $12. Before that was well back in the run when 9th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 m by Ripp (1:51.30) in NR up to 95 on August 16 at $10. Likely to struggle again.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 10th (Fr7) over 2300m at this track beaten 22 m by Kingman (2:41.50) in No NR on August 23 at $126. Before that, a game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr10) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Ripp (1:51.30) in NR up to 95 on August 16 at $17. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Better than the last run suggests; set to make amends.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start surrendered the lead and finished 5th (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 21 m by Oliver Dan (1:48.50) in NR up to 95 on August 23 at $6.50. The run before was well back in the run when 7th (Fr9) over 1609m at this track beaten 11 m by Ripp (1:51.30) in NR up to 95 on August 16 at $8. This looks a suitable assignment.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr2) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 25 m by Oliver Dan (1:48.50) in NR up to 95 on August 23 at $5.50. The run previous was well back in the run when 8th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 m by Ardens Ace (1:51.80) in No NR on July 26 at $9.50. Can make amends.
