GOING:

BINGO @ CLUB PACEWAY EVERY WEDNESDAY PACE 1720m

Track: GOOD      

KEAYANG SANTIAGO (1) was a beaten favourite last week but he is much better than that. Led from a wider barrier when winning last month at Wagga so has the speed to take advantage of the ace draw. Worth another chance. ONE FOR THE RODI (6) will find this easier than his last attempt at Menangle. Won in a similar grade to this at the previous appearance at Newcastle so is better placed. CAPTAIN BART (5) has been solid when midfield in all three starts this time in, the latest at Menangle. Race fit now and owns good records both here and at the distance. MON SOLEIL (8) hasn't raced for a year since ending last campaign with back-to-back Tasmanian wins. Runner-up in a recent trial so keep safe for the new yard.
