Menangle Race 2 - Bestinbeds.com.au Pace
FOREVER ONTHE PUNT (3) has joined the Brad Hewitt yard since showing some good country form last time in. Readied with a nice trial and has won two of three fresh attempts so could make an immediate impact aided by a good draw. ROCKNROLL COWBOY (4) has led to win his two outings at this circuit and distance since joining the Ellul stable for this campaign. Takes a step up but can push forward again from this draw. VINCENZO (11) might need some luck from a wide barrier but has been ticking along well. FASTING (10) is another drawn out but he won three in a row at this circuit and distance before he was held up last week.

Brings the right form to the table. Posted a big 9 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at this track (1:51.70) beating Wahaka in on September 15 at $2.80 at the bell was leading 3.6. Two runs back won by 3 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr10) at this track (1:53.00) beating Explosive Bronski in 3yo+ on August 18 at $2.30. In form and a hat-trick could be on the cards.

Last start 6th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track was 7th-17.13 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Saint Crusader (1:50.80) in 4yo+ on September 26 at $26. At his previous start solid effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 8th-15.34 beaten a head by Cash And Bling (1:54.30) on September 22 at $3.40. It will pay to forgive the latest effort.

Last start was well back in the run when 10th (Fr9) over 1609m at this track, beaten 35 m by Outside Fighter (1:51.10) on September 22 at $151. Before that, 10th (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early speed at Newcastle, beaten 20 m by Action Major (1:52.60) on September 4 at $4. Anticipate a far better run this time.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track was 5th-12.19 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Saint Crusader (1:50.80) in 4yo+ on September 26 at $6.50. Showed ability the race before when he won by 1.4 m when driven back in the field, (Fr7) held up early, at this track (1:51.90) beating Enjabonarlo in on September 15 at $4.20 at the bell was 6th-10.64. If things go his way he can play a major role.

Player with even luck from a wide draw.
