Penrith R3 TAB LONG MAY WE PLAY PACE

Race comment

Tired over the latter stages when 13.7m 8th $3.10 (Fr3) Wolf Stride Menangle 1609m (1:52.9) R6074 race Mar 3 then caught the eye defeating Masons Delight NZ 2.5m $2.60 (Fr2) Menangle 1609m (1:52.8) R6172 race Apr 7. Last start winner in this distance range when well in the market and fitter for this; capable of winning again with a right run from the second row.

Deadheated for first with Young Rooster Feb 14 Bankstown 1740m (1:58.8) in a R5675 race then held on well when 4.7m 3rd $3.00 (Sr1) Smoothe Style Penrith 2525m (1:58.1) R5669 race Feb 27. Form since a fresh flop four back solid and is proven fifth up; drawn poorly, however, and each way preferred.

Raced well when 6.5m 2nd $7.00 (Fr2) Backintown Penrith 1720m (1:55.6) R6070 race Mar 19 then finished 15.5m 3rd $5.00 (Sr3) Arma Naughty Penrith 2125m (2:00.0) R5665 race Apr 9. Racing consistently and has a good record at this track and distance; a must for the exotics.

First start since spell. Good run when 0.1m 2nd $2.10 (Fr1) Causenfriction Mildura 2190m (2:00.2) R6278 race Oct 11 then battled on gamely defeating Alexandergreenwood 0.7m $4.40 (Sr4) Globe Derby 1800m (2:00.3) R5163 race Oct 26. Resuming after a lengthy break but has won first-up previously; watch the betting of signs of readiness.

Raced wide late and tightened during running when 27.5m 9th $12 (Fr3) Crocodile Kid Cobram 1670m (1:54.3) C2-C3 race Jan 21 then eased early when 4m 4th $21 (Fr6) Lombo Heaven Menangle 1609m (1:54.5) R5766 race Apr 6. Just out of the placings last start and proven over the distance range; in the mix.

Ran 18.7m 10th $4.40 (Fr1) The Texas Ranger Menangle 2300m (1:57.4) R6295 race Mar 21 then sound effort when 5m 3rd $12 (Fr1) Lets Go To Brazil Menangle 1609m (1:53.2) R6171 race Apr 14. Holding form and likely leader from this draw; definite contender.

Finished 24.5m 8th $61 (Fr8) Rocky Creed Bathurst 1730m (1:53.5) R5469 race Mar 28 then beaten 13.2m 6th $21 (Fr1) Royal Aurora Menangle 1609m (1:52.8) R6172 race Apr 7. Tends ot mix her form and need to treat warily.
