AU1 - Menangle - Race 1

FAKE FRIENDS (7) made it two wins from her last four outings a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 4 metres over 1m at Newcastle. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Leading hope in this comparable race. SYDS JOY (1) ran fourth last start at Bathurst over 1 ¹/16m, beaten 6 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Expect her to pose a serious challenge. CARLISLE WAY (4) is stepping out for the first time. By McWicked and hails from the B A Harpley stable. Placed in a recent trial. Will be right there at the business end. ROMEGHAN (6) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at Young over 1 ¹/16m.
