Penrith R9 FISHBOYS SEAFOODS PACE

Race comment

Back from a spell. Suffered a severe check and held up for a run early in the straight when 2m 3rd $3.30 (Fr4) Send It Bathurst 1730m the 2YO-LR Gold Crown Gold Consolation (lr) Mar 29 then broke during running when 16.2m 4th $1.50 (Fr2) Fantasy Miss Menangle 1609m (1:58.4) 2C0 race Apr 16. Back from a spell and has placed in 3 from 4 career runs and had excuses when unplaced last start; more experienced now and could easily win this if ready.

Safely held when 9.2m 2nd $4.00 (Fr1) Our Money Rocks Bankstown 1740m (1:58.8) R4950 race Feb 14 then eased early and held up for a run early in the straight when 17m 3rd $4.80 (Fr7) Miss Ciriello Newcastle 2030m (1:57.3) R4160 race Feb 24. Placed in both runs this prep but tends to find one of two better in her races; in the mix for the exotics.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 0.7m 2nd $3.40 (Fr4) Our Money Rocks Penrith 1720m (1:59.4) 3R4754 race Feb 20 then raced well when 2m 3rd $5.50 (Fr4) Bettor Back Louey Penrith 2125m (2:00.7) 3R4755 race Feb 27. Improved by two runs since a spell; further improvement is possible and solid each way chance despite a tricky draw.

Finished 0.5m 2nd $4.00 (Fr2) Spooky Dreams Bathurst 1730m (1:59.0) R4147 race Feb 19 then beaten 5m 2nd $13 (Fr1) Yuko NZ Penrith 2125m (2:03.2) R4250 race Feb 27. Minor place again.

Race comment

Eased early when 17.5m 6th $3.20 (Fr6) Auckland Miss Mt Gambier 1780m (2:02.4) R4450 race Feb 1 then beaten 29.5m 6th $6.40 (Fr1) Crown Royale Mt Gambier 1780m (2:00.1) R4551 race Feb 11. Needs to lift.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 6.5m 5th $26 (Fr6) Bettor Back Louey Penrith 1720m (1:59.8) 3R4450 race Feb 13 then galloped out when distanced 8th $13 (Fr6) Rumours Hurt NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:56.5) R3560 race Feb 28. Fitter for two runs since a spell and can ignore last start effort when galloped at the start; could improve here.

Race comment

Held up for a run early in the straight when 4m 3rd (Fr5) Mickeys House Penrith 1720m (1:58.7) 3R4150 race Jan 30 then tired over the latter stages when distanced 9th $51 (Fr1) Pat McGarry Bathurst 1730m (1:56.7) 3R4154 race Feb 9. Could find this a tough essay.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 25m 6th $61 (Fr6) Shezsavvy Penrith 2125m (2:00.5) R4557 race Feb 6 then tightened during running when 2m 2nd $7.00 (Sr4) Penultima Penrith 1720m (2:00.6) R3549 race Feb 27. Tends to mix his form and need to treat warily.

Race comment

Finished 12m 7th $10.00 (Fr2) Tsunami Charlie Penrith 1720m (1:58.6) R4252 race Feb 20 then raced wide early when 5.2m 3rd $3.50 (Sr3) Penultima Penrith 1720m (2:00.6) R3549 race Feb 27. Minor place only.

Race comment

Failed to get a clear run when 4.5m 4th $14 (Fr1) Our Money Rocks Penrith 1720m (1:59.4) 3R4754 race Feb 20 then tightened during running when 18.2m 5th $81 (Sr2) Pat McGarry Bathurst 1730m (1:57.2) 3R4754 race Feb 26. Not hopeless on recent form.
