AU1 - Menangle - Race 1

VESPA STRIDE (8) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when he came from the outside barrier to be beaten 3.2 metres. That made it back-to-back seconds at this circuit and distance, missing by just a head two back. Can break through in this suitable assignment. CARIBBEAN RUNA (3) drew a wide gate last start and covered ground so was far from disgraced when midfield. Better suited by this barrier and did a good job to place here prior. MICKEY BE NIMBLE (6) is on the radar after coming from a similar barrier in his last-start fourth here two weeks ago. KEAYANG HARLOW (2) draws well and could be competitive based on her win over this distance at Newcastle two runs back.
