Menangle Race 9 - Pryde's Easiperformance Pace
DUTY OF CARE (6) recorded another strong performance last time when he battled on well to finish third over 1609m at this track after leading early and then taking up a trailing position. Tackles a similar line-up and looks close to recording another victory. SIREN SEA (1) finished fourth at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 5.5 metres after racing outside the leader for most of the trip. From the inside draw is good enough to take this race out. MCWIZARD (4) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out. Include in combinations. D J ROCK NZ (5) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track when sent out at long odd.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind Bartello at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 75 on February 10 at $9. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Tukaha at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 75 on February 14 at $6. Expected to go well.

Solid run when a close second behind Baltusrol at this track over 1609m in a NR 61 to 64 on February 10 at $17. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Cash And Bling at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 75 on February 14 at $3.20. Rates highly. Winning claims.

Seven-year-old gelding showed improvement last time and is backing up after three days. 2nd (Sr1) over 2260m at Bathurst beaten 4 m by Smooth Buzz (2:44.00) in NR up to 80 on February 18 at $14. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into fifth behind Shez Sweet Louise at Blayney over 2400m in a NR up to 90 on February 15 at $21. Facing a tough assignment this time around.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 8th (Fr3) over 2125m after showing early pace at Penrith beaten 35 m by Cerise Rainbow (2:33.70) in NR up to 62 on February 12 at $18.
