AU2 - Menangle - Race 5

AMERICAN WEREWOLF (5) looked good at the latest appearance when he drew a couple of spots wider but worked forward to find the front before going on to score by 5 metres over this distance at Newcastle. Could go on with it now that he has found winning form. HOMEBOUND (9) put the writing on the wall two starts ago when runner-up from the back row then broke through at her latest appearance when she scored by 1.4 metres at Penrith. Must overcome a very wide draw but she is going well. ELLY LOU (10) draws widest but is really delivering now having won her past two, one of them at this circuit and distance. With luck she could keep the ball rolling. LARRIKIN LENNY (3) has drawn to advantage and looks close to a win following back-to-back placings.
