AU2 - Menangle - Race 8

NOVANTA RISING (5) turned in a much better run at his latest appearance when runner-up over 1 ¹/16m at Riverina Paceway, beaten 1.75 metres. His recent form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. LAYDEN (9) was in the money two runs ago then was about the mark again last time over 1m at this track, finishing 4.5 metres from the winner in third. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. GUILTY PARTY (4) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1 ¹/16m at Bathurst six days ago. HES A MEISTER (6) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1 ¹/16m at Penrith on June 25. Include in combinations.
