Menangle Race 3 - Club Menangle Waratah Final
KARAOKE KING (1) brings the right form into this, recording two wins and a placing from his last three outings at Newcastle. Should enjoy the favours from the inside draw so goes on top. There was plenty of merit in the latest effort of GO COLOUR MY WORLD NZ (2) when beaten narrowly from a wider barrier at Wagga. The good draw brings him into contention. TAKE HIS PLACE (3) is another aided by the low draw and did a good job to come from the back row and win last start at Bathurst. ULTIMATE RHAPSODY (8) draws wide but has been racing consistently while ROCK THE NATION NZ (4) came from wider to win at Wagga last start so deserves respect.

Last start won by 4.5 m after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Newcastle (1:53.00) beating Ultimate Rhapsody in 4yo+ on September 18 at $5. Should get his chance from this draw.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fifth after a quick start, behind Magic Matteo at Riverina Paceway over 1740m on September 22 at $2.60. Then a handy effort when a close second after being driven well back, behind Rock The Nation at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in a 4yo+ on September 25 at $12. Heading the right way and is a leading player from a lower draw.

Last start 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early pace at Tamworth was 2nd-1.24 at the bell, beaten 5 m by The Irish Eagle (1:56.50) in 4yo+ on September 24 at $2.80. Two runs back was well back in the run when 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at Newcastle, beaten 9 m by Karaoke King (1:53.00) in 4yo+ on September 18 at $34. Will not find this easy. This looks a sterner test.
