Menangle Race 4 - Macarthur Bulls Super Maiden
FIRESTRIKE (9) is a four-year-old gelding by top sire Bettors Delight on debut. Hails from a leading yard in Luke McCarthy and while he cops a wide draw he has looked talented in winning his two trials at this circuit and distance, both by big margins. WARRAWEES SHOUT (1) performed admirably from a second row draw last time out, making up plenty of ground to be beaten less than 2m into third at Wagga. Should have no excuses from the ace draw. TILLY DEEVINNE (10) started a hot favourite last week but it all went wrong when she broke in the score up and then had to work. Still has plenty to learn and starts from the outside but suspect there is ability there if the penny drops. IM JUST SAYIN (3) is heading the right way, improving last time out when she came from this barrier to miss narrowly when second over this distance at Newcastle.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 3rd (Sr3) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway was 7th-11.9 at the bell, beaten 2 m by William Aitch (2:07.40) in MAIDEN on March 27 at $5. The ace draw may see him hard to beat.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Designa Label at Newcastle over 1609m in a MAIDEN on March 28 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Roobee at Newcastle over 1609m in a MAIDEN on April 6 at $7. Could progress further.

Two back was well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Shes A True Bling at Penrith over 1720m in a MAIDEN on March 26 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second after a quick start, behind Stannum at Penrith over 1720m in a MAIDEN on April 2 at $11. One of the exotic chances.

Four-year-old gelding by Bettors Delight out of Super Deal having his first start. Showed ability when he won at Menangle in a trial on April 8 over 1609m. Cops a wide draw but has been impressing at the trials so looks to have talent.

Has struggled of late. Last start broke in score up and was out of position at the start 9th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by What For (1:54.50) in 3yo+ 0LTW o eligible 3yo+ NR47 on March 31 at $1.70. The start before 5th (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track beaten 25 m by The Niteshift (1:51.90) in MAIDEN on March 17 at $2.60. Still learning but suspect there is ability there.
