Menangle Race 6 - Irt Your Horse Our Passion Pace (Heat 4)
MAJOR ART NZ (8) is bursting to win one after finishing second in his three starts since crossing from NZ, missing narrowly in his last two. Draws wider than when he raced parked to go under by a head at this circuit and distance last start but can break through if things go his way. MIKI BE GOOD (4) made it three wins from his last five starts when he led from wider to score by 3.5m at Bathurst last week. Drops in distance but is well served by this barrier. DANCE WITH CARMER (10) has won a trial since tackling the Paleface Adios Stakes last start. Draws wide but had kicked off his campaign with a Newcastle win and a second here. Can measure up with even luck as can COASTAL DRIVE (11) who hasn't had a lot go his way since a narrow second here when resuming. Draws wide again but his fitness is building.

Last start 9th (Sr3) over 1720m at Penrith, beaten 30 m by Red Sapphire (2:00.50) in NR up to 90 on March 12 at $8.50.

Draws well so has to be included among the chances.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m fifth behind Browniesatmidnight at this track over 1609m NR 71 to 75 last start. Before that was beaten a head second again at this track in NR up to 75 on March 10. May play a role in the finish.

Last start was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Captains Mistress at this track over 1609m in a 4yo LR No NR on February 28 at $71. Performed better the start before with a good run when 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track beaten 2 m by Catchafire (1:50.00) in 4yo No NR on February 21 at $9.50. Rates highly. Draws wide but can measure up with even luck.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 6th (Fr8) over 1609m after being wide early at this track beaten 17 m by Soho Gunslinger (1:50.60) in NR up to 80 on March 14 at $4.60. The run prior was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr10) over 1609m at this track was 10th-17.99 at the bell, beaten 16 m by Double Lou (1:50.00) in 4yo LR No NR on February 21 at $17. Hasn't drawn the best again but his fitness is building.
