GOING: F

GLOBAL BRANDS LIQUOR PACE 1609m

Track: FAST   Rain (Max: 18)    

CYA ART (10) moderate effort at Menangle two runs ago then settled back and failed to figure at his latest appearance over 2300m there, beaten 12 metres into fourth. Drawn to enjoy a nice run, with luck possibly playing a role at some point. Finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around. SEVE (4) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing third and just 1.4 metres from the winner. Good enough to take out a race like this. PITCH PERFECT (9) has a strong record here which is significant. Finished eighth over 1609m at Menangle last time out. Top-three candidate on best form. QUADDIE VC (3) is worth some thought after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this venue on May 2. Can trouble the judge from the low draw.

Two back was sixth behind Franco Tyson at Menangle over 1609m in a NR up to 80 on April 26 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.4 m finishing third behind Dadndave at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 90 on May 2 at $3.10. Should be in the finish.
