Penrith R8 Macquarie River Three Year Old Pace

Race comment

Finished 17.2m 9th $101 (Fr2) No Win No Feed Menangle 1609m the 3F-GP1 Nswb Challenge 3YOF (grp1) Jun 30 then held up for a run early in the straight when 0.1m 2nd $1.50 (Fr1) Britney Jane NZ Penrith 1720m (2:00.7) R4452 race Jul 11. Close second last start and should not be overall affected by the draw as she usually races off the pace; ready to win.

Eased early and tired over the latter stages when 62.5m 7th $101 (Fr7) Hurricane Roy Bathurst 1730m (1:55.6) 3C0 race Jun 26 then beaten 22m 3rd $8.50 (Fr3) Bracken Knight Penrith 2125m (1:58.7) 3R4250 race Jul 4. Can figure minor placings.

Eased early when 8m 2nd $12 (Fr6) Bracken Knight Penrith 2125m (1:58.7) 3R4250 race Jul 4 then raced well when 6.5m 4th $21 (Fr3) Jerada Gotta Major Penrith 1720m (1:55.2) R4957 race Jul 11. Lightly raced and definite contender, despite drawing awkwardly here, on sound second two back.

Race comment

Sound effort when 5.5m 4th $5.00 (Fr5) Strong Response Goulburn 1710m (1:58.6) 3C0 race Jun 24 then safely held when 3.5m 4th $2.40 (Fr3) Moneymatters Newcastle 2030m (2:01.0) 3R4251 race Jul 15. Thereabouts in recent starts and drawn well here; in the mix.

Eased early when 6.2m 5th $13 (Fr6) El Aguila Goulburn 1710m (1:58.2) 3C0 race Jun 24 then eased early and broke during running when distanced 8th $8.00 (Fr5) Bracken Knight Penrith 2125m (1:58.7) 3R4250 race Jul 4. Proven at this distance and had excuses in recent starts; could surprise with the right run.

Eased early when 21.5m 5th $6.50 (Fr7) Strong Response Goulburn 1710m (1:58.6) 3C0 race Jun 24 then beaten 84m 6th $21 (Fr4) Bracken Knight Penrith 2125m (1:58.7) 3R4250 race Jul 4. Place prospect this field.

Checked at the start when 24.5m 4th $41 (Sr2) Tulhurst Writer Penrith 1720m (1:58.8) 3C0 race May 23 then beaten 1.7m 2nd $16 (Sr1) Old Tanner Burn Goulburn 1710m (2:02.0) 3C0 race Jun 10. Not hopeless on latest effort.

Race comment

Covered extra ground and raced roughly when 9.7m 5th $3.10 (Sr1) Gemmas Express Penrith 1720m (2:01.1) 3C0 race Jun 20 then covered extra ground and broke during running when 82m 5th $6.00 (Sr1) Bracken Knight Penrith 2125m (1:58.7) 3R4250 race Jul 4. Fitter for two recent runs and was narrowly beaten third up last prep; each way.
