Menangle Race 2 - Nutrien Equine Nsw Breeders Challenge 3yo Fillies - Semi Final 1
STRIPES (4) stretched her winning streak to four when she came from a couple of spots deeper to score by 7m at this circuit and distance last time. Was also drawn deeper when she won the Triad Final in Brisbane prior. The latest win was her first outing for more than five weeks so she should be better for it. Can deliver again. EYE WISH (5) comes here off back-to-back Wagga wins, the latest by 2.3m in a heat of this series when off the back row. She is in peak form at the right time. GO EASY ON ME (3) scored from the outside barrier when resuming here and has been runner-up from the back row in both outings since. Kept up to the mark with a trial win and is unbeaten at this circuit and distance. Player from a good draw. FAKE FRIENDS (9) found form when leading to win a heat of this series here last week. Draws out but has yet to miss a place when third-up. OSHLEY (6) was a class above last start after a close second here fresh. Draws a bit wide but should be peaking.

Didn't do much last time out, 5th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 m by One More Reason (1:50.20) in 3yo on October 13 at $101. Before that surrendered the lead and finished 4th (Fr2) over 1730m after showing early speed at Bathurst beaten 23 m by Ark Sea (2:01.30) in 3yo on September 30 at $71. This will fully test.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 7 m (Fr6) at this track (1:50.40) beating Sparkling Sea in 3yo on September 29 at $4.60 at the bell was 3rd-4.37. Two runs back posted a big 8 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr6) at Albion Park (2:32.80) beating Amylee in 3yo G1 on August 22 at $1.40 at the bell was leading 2.24. Can add to her winning streak.

Racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at Riverina Paceway both over 1740m. Last start raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 2.25 m as favourite (Sr3) at Riverina Paceway (2:00.70) beating Go Easy On Me in 3yo on October 4 at $2.70 at the bell was 2nd-0.9. Strong claims again.

Last start won by 6 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr7) at this track (1:52.50) beating Highindelight in 3yo on October 13 at $2.70 at the bell was leading 2.86. Fitter again so may overcome the wide draw to feature again.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 2nd (Fr9) over 1609m at this track was 9th-17.45 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Fake Friends (1:52.50) in 3yo on October 13 at $14. Two runs back 5th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 25 m by Stripes (1:50.40) in 3yo on September 29 at $21. Draws out and is unlikely to threaten.
