AU2 - Menangle - Race 3

CALZAGHE (4) came from this barrier to break his maiden when third-up at this circuit and distance two back before drawing on the back row and working when beaten 3.6 metres into third at Penrith. Yet to miss the top-three. Strong claims. BENJAMIN (3) started a hot favourite on debut and proved to good in scoring by 4.5 metres at Goulburn. Open to natural improvement and should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Can take the next step. ELEGANT STRIDE (5) progressed off a resuming second to break her maiden over this distance at Newcastle last start. Draws wider but has upside as does LAST LEXUS (6) who is yet to miss the top three including a maiden win from this barrier two back at Bathurst.
