Menangle Race 1 - Wests Tigers Empower Pace
SMOKEN ACE NZ (7) was sent out as the $1.55 favourite last start could only manage to finish fifth over 1609m at this track when he tried to lead all of the way. He placed second over 1609m at this track two starts back and on his best form can atone. ALTA WILLIAM (8) scored by a nose as the favourite over 2260m at Bathurst last start when after racing three-wide over the early stages worked forward to find the front. Has a tough draw to overcome but is well worth an each-way ticket. WAMBOYNEINAMERICA (6) did well to finish second of 10 here last start when after getting caught wide early went forward to find the lead with 800m to run and fought on well to the line. Won here three runs back and is in the mix. BAINBRIDGE (10) is better than his last-start run for ninth over 1609m at this track would suggest. He has won eight of his 12 career runs at this track and is worth another chance.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fourth behind Huta at this track over 1609m on July 25 at $61. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Better Eclipse at this track over 1609m on August 1 at $26. Forward performance expected.

Last start 9th (Fr8) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 30 m by Sinaloa (1:50.10) on June 20 at $6.50. Before that, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr5) over 2300m at this track, beaten 9 m by Ubetcha Tigerpie (2:40.20) on June 13 at $61. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Solid top-three chance on best form.
