AU2 - Menangle - Race 3

ALPHA STRIDE (8) came from this barrier and raced three wide without cover but stuck on well for fourth last time out. Recorded a win at this circuit and distance prior so is going well. With some luck from the wide draw he could return to the winners' list. SAN JUAN MOUNTAIN (10) broke when tackling some handy rivals in the 4YO Foundation Final last start. Cops the outside barrier but finds a more suitable assignment. CHIEF RUNNINGCLOUD (9) is another that draws deep but the form is hard to knock, making it back-to-back wins at this venue by overcoming a ?f handicap last week. ITZFERGIETIME (6) should be at her peak at the fourth run back from a spell and is going well, kicking off the campaign with back-to-back placings at this circuit and distance before a fourth over further last time.
