Menangle Race 2 - Ka Cleans & Flushes Nsw Derby Heat 1
SHOWMETHETANLINES NZ (3) drew much wider and worked when parked so was far from disgraced when midfield in the Simpson Memorial last start. Was racing well prior and owns a 50 per cent strike rate at this circuit and distance. Should get every chance from a much better draw. SOHO TRUMP (8) beat Showmethetanlines home when a resuming third in the Simpson Memorial then led from a low draw and was too good last start, giving him two wins and a placing from three attempts at this circuit and distance. Tougher from this draw but he is a talent. REWATCH (6) came from wider for a resuming win here. This is stronger but he'll be fitter and looks to have returned in good order. EYENEEDTHAT (1) progressed off a midfield effort at Listed level when resuming to finish runner-up in Victoria last start. Building in fitness and is aided by the ace draw.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fifth after showing early speed, behind Brooklyn Dan at Melton over 1720m in a 3yo LR No NR on February 14 at $14. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind The Steel Dragon at Hamilton over 2160m in a NR 56 to 64 on February 23 at $1.25. Fitter again and may feature from the ace draw.

Resumes today. His previous first-up run was successful when he won by 10 m after showing early speed, (Fr1) overraced, at Riverina Paceway (2:05.30) beating William Aitch in 2yo MAIDEN on November 4 at $8. Has only trialled once and may need more time.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 m by Hollywood Strip (1:50.40) in 3yo LR No NR on February 14 at $9. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 1.75 m as favourite (Fr8) at Newcastle (1:52.40) beating Fake Friends in 3yo NR up to 60 on January 28 at $1.22. Nicely drawn and gets his chance from there.

Last start 2nd (Fr5) over 1730m after showing early speed and racing wide at Bathurst, at the bell was 2nd-2.35 beaten a nose by Borrowed Time (2:05.40) in NR up to 55 on February 25 at $2.70. Two runs back won by a head as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Bathurst (2:05.40) beating Carbaganoosh in NR up to 55 on February 18 at $1.70 at the bell was leading 0.28. This looks too much of a step up.
