Menangle Race 8 - King Of Swing Standing At Cobbitty Equine Farm Pace
BETTORLIGHTEM UP (8) kicked off for Jason Grimson with a decisive win last time one at this circuit and distance, coming from a similar draw and getting home by 13.5 metres in an emphatic display. Up in grade but can go right on with the job. SKY BLU (4) came from this barrier for a win at this circuit and distance earlier in the campaign and hasn't been far away in some good line-ups since. This suits. MAJOR ART NZ (7) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this circuit and distance. Draws a couple of spots lower so he is a player. BROWNIESATMIDNIGHT (1) is worth some thought from the inside draw.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Ark Sea at this track over 1609m on May 19 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing second behind Demon Blue at this track over 1609m on May 26 at $41. Nice effort last time. Leading contender.

Latest form makes this a pretty tough assignment.

Nine-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 3rd (Fr3) over 1980m after being wide early at Tamworth was 2nd-0.55 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Grosso Naso (2:24.50) on May 21 at $1.85. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind Dance With Carmer at Newcastle over 2030m on May 15 at $51. This is likely to prove too tough.
