Menangle Race 9 - Apg Pacing With Excitement Pace
MIKE ROSS NZ (5) has the hoof on the till after placing in handy line-ups on country tracks in his last three outings, last time chasing home NSW Derby winner Hollywood Strip when third in the Wagga Cup. Race fit and looks well placed so can break through. JILLIBY FABIO (8) came from the back row and chased a handy one when placed at Penrith last start. Missed by just a nose over this distance the last time he raced here last month. VINKE B NZ (3) could be working towards a win having finished runner-up in two of his last three starts here, both from wider draws than this. ULTIMATE BIRD NZ (7) is on a quick back-up after adding to a handy record at this circuit and distance with a second on Tuesday. Go well again. TITIAN RAIDER (2) is up in grade but should be peaking after placing in his last two starts and draws well.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Miki Cohen at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 75 on March 31 at $4.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.75 m finishing third behind Baltusrol at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 69 on April 7 at $5.50. A good draw can see him competitive again.

Good performance when beaten by 5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Miki Be Good at Bathurst over 2260m in a NR up to 80 on March 11 at $2.30. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Hollywood Strip at Riverina Paceway over 2270m in a NR up to 90 on April 4 at $9. Close to a win and gets his chance here.
