Menangle Race 1 - Garrards Horse And Hound Pace
DANGEROUS (10) makes his first appearance since July's Inter Dominion series where he won a heat and was fourth in the final. Readied with two trials, winning the latest, and has won five of eight fresh attempts. Draws widest but is good enough to overcome that. SPRINGFIELD AFFAIR (1) has been a revelation in winning all four starts over this distance since joining Seaton Grima, last week overcoming a wide draw to get home by 2m. This is stronger but he led from this barrier to score well prior so can give a big sight again. RAKERO ROCKET NZ (7) is much better than what he showed first up. That was his first outing for nearly six months so he should be better for it. Worth another chance. NYACK (9) was first up for eight weeks when runner-up to an in-form rival last start. Draws wider but should be fitter and beat DANGEROUS when he placed in the Inter Dominion final two back.

Comes here in the right form. Came from midfield and won by 2 m (Fr8) at this track (1:49.40) beating I Got Chills in on September 19 at $2.90 at the bell was leading 5.59. Two runs back posted a big 5 m win as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:49.90) beating Rocknroll Hammer in on September 12 at $1.70. Up in grade but the ace draw gives him the chance to continue the winning form.

Last start 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 7th-13.36 beaten 7 m by Max Delight (1:50.80) on September 19 at $151. Two runs back 9th (Fr1) over 2300m at this track beaten 50 m by Captains Knock (2:39.00) in LR on September 12 at $81. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Lacklustre performance first-up at this course and distance beaten 22 m eighth after showing early speed, behind Captains Knock in a on September 5. Much better than what she showed first up so worth another chance.

Solid run when a close second behind Hes No Romeo at Albion Park over 1660m in a 4yo+ on July 25 at $3.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Heza Punk Rocker at Albion Park over 2138m in a 4yo+ on August 1 at $2.90. Could get into the exotics.

Two back was third behind Captains Mistress in Inter Dominion Final at Albion Park over 2680m on July 18 at $101. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Captains Knock at this track over 2300m in a LR on September 12 at $5.50. Draws wide but hard to knock his consistency.

Resumes. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into tenth behind Captains Mistress in Inter Dominion Final at Albion Park over 2680m on July 18 at $15. Previous preparation first-up won by 1.5 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr7) at Bendigo (1:57.20) beating Western Sonador in on March 25 at $1.85. Rates highly. Won his latest trial and is good enough to overcome the outside draw and win.
