Trotting mare Funky Monkey will make another bid to climb the Inter Dominion rankings at Menangle tonight.

In form trotter Funky Monkey will aim to make another strong bid to climb the Inter Dominion rankings as she races at Menangle tonight. 

Having won her last two starts, the New Zealand import will have to overcome a 30m handicap to continue her winning streak. 

Junior driver Josh Gallagher has been given the task to step the four-year-old mare away in the 3009m standing start. 

It is his first drive behind the trotter in race conditions as regular reinsman Robert Morris has three drives at Melton, Victoria, tonight. 

Funky Monkey originally was ranked 33rd in the Inter Dominion and improved to the 22nd position in the second round of rankings released. 

The third round of Inter Dominion rankings will be released on November 19. 

Funky Monkey has won eight of her 11 starts in Australia.

The iForm team have put together the best bets for Menangle tonight:

Menangle best bet 

Race 5: Bettor Robyn (8)

Will take some catching again following a bold front running exhibition first up at Newcastle.

Menangle next best 

Race 1: Major Obahma (1)
