Menangle Race 3 - Markets @ Penrith Showground Every Thursday Pace
STARTIN TO GOGH (9) has finished midfield in higher-graded races in his two starts off a spell and should be close to his peak now. Draws on the second line so may need luck at some point but looks suited in this line-up. CHARLIES ACE NZ (3) enjoyed a class drop on her latest appearance and placed at this venue prior. No excuses from this advantageous draw so has winning claims. BOULEVARDOFDREAMS (1) has come from wider barriers in her three starts since a spell. Race fit now and is suited by a class drop and the ace draw. NOTHINGBUTWAVES (10) worked last start but was racing well prior so can bounce back.

Recent form below what she is capable of. Last start was driven from back in the field when 10th (Fr9) over 1609m at Menangle beaten 20 m by Ark Sea (1:51.30) in NR up to 66 on April 14 at $23. The run before 7th (Fr4) over 1609m at Menangle was 4th-6.84 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Gipsy Princess (1:52.90) in NR up to 80 M on March 27 at $15. Strips fitter and from the pegs gets her chance to impress.

Last start was well beaten into ninth behind Namaka at Menangle over 1609m in a NR up to 85 M on May 9 at $71. Performed better the start before with a game effort when 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 2.5 m by Playa Blanca (1:53.80) in NR up to 65 M on May 5 at $61. Draws well so can be right in the thick of things.
