AU2 - Menangle - Race 1

HUTA (10) will enjoy a class drop after tackling some strong opponents last time and was flying prior, winning four of his previous five outings at this circuit. The wide draw is a new challenge but he is good enough to overcome it back in his right grade. FORCE FULL (2) was good from a wider barrier last week, beaten less than 2m into third. Suited up to a distance where he has won two of three attempts and he draws to advantage. VAN BASTEN (6) draws wider but was good last week when edged out narrowly. CAULONIA COURAGE (5) has been solid at his last couple and came from this barrier when he won here last month. ALTA WILLIAM (3) has been good in Brisbane of late and was runner-up the last time he raced here. Draws to be competitive.
