Menangle Race 1 - Wests Tigers Empower Ladyship Pace
LA FAMILIA NZ (2) is unbeaten in three starts since crossing from NZ, one of those coming at this circuit and distance when she crossed to lead from a much wider draw and cruised home. She takes a step up in grade but has the speed to take advantage of the draw so can continue on her winning way. FARFALLA STRIDE (11) draws wide but is going well, placing in higher-graded races at this circuit and distance in both outings off a spell. Might need some luck but her third-up record stands at two wins and a placing from three attempts so should be peaking. SNAP SHOT NZ (8) could be close to a win after two successive placings against the boys, the latest from a similar draw here last week. DAVOLAS LEGACY NZ (9) and POPS JOY (10) both draw wide but are going well enough to be competitive with even luck.

Comes here in the right form. Posted a big 9 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at Penrith (2:34.20) beating Kates Virtue in on September 24 at $1.10 at the bell was leading 5.38. Two runs back came from midfield and won by 9 m as favourite (Sr4) overraced, at Penrith (2:04.40) beating Rainbowsend in on September 17 at $1.20 at the bell was leading 4.01. A good draw can see her continue on her winning way.

Failed to impress last start; surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr8) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track was 5th-8.37 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Janie Blu (1:51.50) in M on September 26 at $6.50. Showed ability the race before when she posted a big 16 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at Penrith (2:01.80) beating Wheres My Reason in on September 17 at $1.75 at the bell was leading 2.83. Has a low draw this time and can improve.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Rikibreal at Bathurst over 2260m on September 9 at $11. Then a handy effort when a close third after showing early speed, behind Hunter Shannon at Bathurst over 1730m on September 23 at $7. One of the chances.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3 m second behind Buzz Bomb at this track over 1609m last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres second at Riverina Paceway over 2270m same class on September 18. Could be working towards another win.

Last start game effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track was 4th-5.48 at the bell, beaten a neck by Janie Blu (1:51.50) in M on September 26 at $12. Two runs back won by 1.3 m when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at this track (1:52.70) beating Pops Joy in M on September 12 at $15. Racing very well. Player with even luck.

Good run when beaten by 4 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Huxton at this track over 1609m on September 12 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Golly Gee Fellas at this track over 1609m in a M on September 19 at $8. Draws wide but racing well and could be close to a win.
