Menangle Race 5 - Hyland Sportswear Pace

PAPI ROCKS (5) is a progressive filly who made it two wins from as many starts this prep when she came from a similar barrier and got the cash by 2.2 metres at this circuit and distance. Fitter again so can continue her march through the grades. LEXUS LOU (7) did a good job to lead and score at the first run back from a layoff last time out over this distance at Newcastle, finishing one metre ahead of his rivals. Interesting to see what unfolds from a wider draw but he should strip fitter. SNIPERS FIRE (3) had a tough draw when she returned from a five-month spell with a placing at Young. Showed good ability last time in and draws much better so expect her to progress. HAS THE COURAGE (6) eases back in class so may be competitive.

Having her second run back from a spell. Good run when 3rd (Sr4) over 1720m at Young, beaten 8 m by Warrawee Cruzin (2:04.40) on May 12 at $9.50. Fitter and draws well so a bold showing expected again.

Three-year-old filly is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at this track and Goulburn. Last start won by 2.25 m (Fr6) at this track (1:51.90) beating Lochinvar Marcello in 3yo on May 9 at $9.50 at the bell was 6th-12.08. Progressing strongly and should prove tough to roll again.

Last start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 10th-32 beaten 19 m by Bettorlightem Up (1:52.10) on May 19 at $9.50. Before that, 8th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 20 m by Party Central (1:51.70) on May 12 at $26. This looks a nice assignment so watch for a better run.

10-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. Was well back in the run when 3rd (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 35 m by Maxo Mighty (1:50.40) on May 19 at $34. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into eighth behind Spunkys Gotsecrets at Newcastle over 1609m on May 1 at $14. Leaning to others.
