Menangle Race 1 - For A Reason Standing At Cobbitty Equine Farm Pace
DARIN NZ (1) started from a much wider barrier last week so there was merit in his effort to finish midfield. Placed in his previous three outings including a narrow defeat at this circuit and distance prior. Should get his chance from the ace draw. FORCE FULL (4) continued his good form when he came from a wide draw to miss narrowly at Newcastle last start. Recorded back-to-back placings at this venue last month. Could break through. PICCADILLY PETE NZ (5) should find this easier than the last attempt and had placed in his other two starts this time in, coming from wider for second here two back. Can bounce back. MASTER CATCH (10) draws deep but was good here last start when he worked but boxed on to go under by only 2m. PROMISING (2) did a good job to place last start and draws to advantage.

Good performance when beaten by 5 m finishing eighth after being driven well back, behind Thalassophobia at this track over 2300m in a NR up to 95 on February 21 at $17. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Captain Bellasario at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 95 on February 28 at $26. Can improve. Draws for a good showing.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Haveyoucheckedin at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR up to 90 on February 20 at $3.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind The Answer at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 95 on February 28 at $8.50. Draws wide but has claims off the latest effort.
