Menangle Race 2 - Bestinbeds.com.au Pace
OAKIE SMOKESHOW (2) copped the outside barrier when resuming last week so was far from disgraced when midfield. Much better served by this barrier and he showed some strong form last campaign. Has recorded a win and a placing in two previous second-up attempts so expect big improvement. MONTEFIORE NZ (3) could be close to a win after coming from wider to place in two of his last three outings here, beaten just 1.4m last week. Should get his chance from this barrier. RIVERA LOU (9) may need some luck from the wide draw but could be close to a win following back-to-back placings. PETES CRUNCH TIME (4) is another drawn lower than last week and there was merit in that effort when beaten only 3.2m into fourth. BARTELLO (7) draws wider but showed improvement to place last week and should be fitter again third up.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind No Notthebuttons at this track over 2300m on July 4 at $51. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Lets Turn It On at this track over 1609m on July 11 at $7.50. Fitter again so could make his presence felt.
