Menangle Race 3 - Apg Pacing With Excitement Super Maiden
HE IS GOLD CLASS (2) made a promising debut when placed at this circuit and distance two back then started favourite but only beat a couple home last week. Draws closer to the pegs and is worth another chance. SOVEREIGN PLACE (9) has had two months off since finishing down the track here last start but that was against much stronger opposition. Did a good job for a resuming win at Penrith prior so can perform well with freshness on his side. ROCKNGROHL DAVE (7) is a three-year-old gelding by A Rocknroll Dance on debut. Has to contend with a wide draw but has produced some strong trial efforts here so anticipating a good start to his career. WARRAWEES SHOUT (11) continues a run of wide draws but could be close to a win having placed in two of his last three starts.

Comes here second-up after a week. Lacklustre first-up performance when was well beaten after breaking at this track on February 10. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Failed to impress last start; hung in on scoring up, was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 35 m by Smirkin Serene (1:52.60) in 3yo No NR on December 20 at $151. Showed ability the race before when he won by a nose when quickly away, (Fr3) at Penrith (2:06.90) beating Thats Wicked in MAIDEN on December 4 at $4.60 at the bell was 2nd-4.1m on the pegs. Rates highly. Big chance.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Miki Moo at Newcastle over 1609m in a MAIDEN on January 28 at $18. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second behind Emperor at Goulburn over 1710m in a MAIDEN on February 1 at $31. Chief contender.
