Menangle Race 2 - Bestinbeds.com.au Pace
MIKI PINS NZ (8) resumes off some strong form last campaign including a fourth from the back row in the Victoria Cup two starts back. Readied with a trial and has won fresh before. Owns a decent record at this circuit and distance and finds a winnable assignment first up. BAINBRIDGE (9) has been racing well in good company, placing two back in the Newcastle Mile before a solid fifth from this same barrier in last week's G2 Light Horse FFA. He'll enjoy a class drop. THE ANSWER (5) faded out last week but came from this barrier when winning at this circuit and distance prior so is worth another chance. ALTA WILLIAM (6) was first up for two months when he came from the back row to win at Bathurst last start. Should be fitter for that so could go on with it. PERFECT STRIDE NZ (10) is back in winning form and can feature if things go his way from a wide draw.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start a big 22 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at Newcastle (2:25.20) beating Obadiah Dragon in NR up to 80 on March 13 at $1.65. Deserves respect from the inside draw.

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 10 m by Helluva (1:50.30) in No NR on March 14 at $10. Showed ability the outing before when she won by a head as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at this track (1:50.80) beating Darin in NR up to 95 on February 28 at $2.20 at the bell was 5th-8.43. Won from this barrier two back so can bounce back.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start by 1.4 m as favourite (Sr2) at Bathurst (2:03.50) beating Mike Ross in NR up to 90 on March 4 at $2.15 at the bell was 6th-8.13. In winning form and is among the chances.

Returns from the paddock. Previously first up won by a head when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at this track (2:41.50) beating Rakajed in NR up to 95 on September 20 at $3.80. Proven fresh and could make a winning return.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 5.5 m by Hi Manameisjeff (1:49.30) in G2 No NR on March 14 at $81. Before that, a good run despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr7) over 1609m at Newcastle, beaten 4.5 m by Bulletproof Boy (1:50.50) in G2 No NR on February 27 at $101. Going well in good company so looks well placed.

Last start was well back in the run when 10th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track was 8th-12.51 at the bell, beaten 12 m by The Janitor (1:49.30) in No NR on March 7 at $151. At the start before 7th (Fr4) over 2300m after showing early speed at this track was 6th-12.74 at the bell, beaten 18 m by Don Hugo (2:42.50) in No NR on February 28 at $26. Draws wide but will enjoy a class drop.
