Menangle Race 5 - Llowalong Farms Pace
SWEET STRIKE (9) has had a couple of months off but was racing consistently before that let-up, coming from this barrier for third here last start. Kept up to the mark with a trial and has strong winning claims with manners as does LUV THE NITELIFE (10) who took advantage of the ace draw to find winning form at her most recent outing, leading to score at Penrith by 3 metres. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw but was runner-up in two of her other three starts here since a long spell. Could go on with it now that she is back in winning form. MCWIZARD (7) draws wider but did a good job for third when resuming at this circuit and distance last time out and should be fitter. YA RACIN ARLO (1) has been producing some decent efforts and gets the aid of the ace draw.

Last start 6th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track was 5th-13.44 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Go Without (1:53.80) on July 7 at $14. At his previous start solid effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr8) over 1609m at this track was 9th-18.08 at the bell, beaten 15 m by Blazing High (1:53.90) on June 30 at $17. Drawn favourably and deserves another chance.

Last start 6th (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was 4th-9.88 beaten 14 m by Titian Raider (1:52.40) on July 7 at $26.

Second-up here following a spell. Solid effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track was 6th-13.17 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Titian Raider (1:52.40) on July 7 at $13. Fitter so a bold showing is expected again.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after showing early speed, behind Franco Novelist at this track over 2300m in a 4-020yo+ on May 9 at $8. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Cynical at this track over 2300m on May 16 at $11. Draws wide but with even luck he has winning claims.

In good form recently. Last start posted a big 3 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at Penrith (2:35.60) beating One For The Rodi in on July 2 at $1.50 at the bell was leading 4.92. Tougher draw but is race fit now so can go on with it.
