Penrith R1 TAB ODDS & EVENS CLAIMING PACE

Race comment

Sound effort when 8.5m 6th $11 (Fr2) Sapphire Swayze Menangle 1609m (1:54.0) C6787 race Apr 7 then checked and failed to get a clear run when beaten 20.5m 6th $3.70 (Sr1) Star Writer Penrith 2125m (1:59.5) C6184 race Apr 30. Having his fourth run since a spell and previous runs at this stage in the campaign sound (1-2-5); contender.

Race comment

Won $8.50 (Fr3) narrowly defeating Roll One Over 0.4m Penrith 2125m (1:58.3) R7394 race Apr 23 then raced wide early and failed to get a clear run when beaten 23m 6th $10.00 (Fr6) Tippitinya Penrith 2125m (1:56.1) R6886 race May 7. Had genuine excuses last start and won three straight prior; drawn poorly but can bounce back.

Race comment

Tightened during running when distanced 10th $71 (Sr1) Katamach NZ Penrith 2125m (1:58.4) R5665 race Apr 23 then beaten 30.5m 8th $34 (Fr1) Star Writer Penrith 2125m (1:59.5) C6184 race Apr 30. Prefer others.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 22.5m 7th $9.50 (Fr5) Star Writer Penrith 2125m (1:59.5) C6184 race Apr 30 then was a handy winner $6.00 (Fr1) over Star Writer 2.5m Penrith 1720m (1:57.1) C6084 race May 7. Won last start at the track and while drawn less favourably this time around he stays in the mix.

Race comment

Finished 35.5m 9th $14 (Fr4) Star Writer Penrith 2125m (1:59.5) C6184 race Apr 30 then hung in during the race and inconvenienced when beaten 19.5m 6th $26 (Fr2) Countdown Penrith 1720m (1:57.1) C6084 race May 7. Safely held here.

Race comment

Eased early and tightened during running when 8.5m 9th $19 (Fr6) Star Writer Menangle 1609m (1:55.5) C5694 race Apr 2 then beaten 24.5m 8th $51 (Fr3) Timely Sovereign Penrith 2125m (1:58.0) C5694 race Apr 9. Is 1 from 3 at this course and distance but recent form below par.

Race comment

Eased early when 13m 4th $71 (Fr3) Star Writer Penrith 2125m (1:59.5) C6184 race Apr 30 then inconvenienced when beaten 8.5m 3rd $21 (Fr3) Countdown Penrith 1720m (1:57.1) C6084 race May 7. In the money prospect.

Race comment

Raced wide early and eased early when 4.7m 3rd $5.00 (Fr6) Star Writer Penrith 2125m (1:59.5) C6184 race Apr 30 then beaten 10m 4th $5.50 (Fr4) Countdown Penrith 1720m (1:57.1) C6084 race May 7. Could fill a spot following two useful recent runs.

Race comment

Covered extra ground when 0.4m 2nd $11 (Sr4) Star Writer Penrith 2125m (1:59.5) C6184 race Apr 30 then finished 19.5m 5th $2.30 (Sr2) Countdown Penrith 1720m (1:57.1) C6084 race May 7. Just out of the placings last start and not out of it on narrow defeat two back.

Race comment

First start since spell. Tired over the latter stages when 25.5m 10th $4.20 (Fr1) Countdown Penrith 1720m (1:58.7) C5990 race Nov 7 then broke during running when distanced 10th $61 (Sr4) Rocknroll Music Bankstown 2140m (2:00.4) C6591 race Nov 22. Coming off a break but has placed in 2 from 6 when fresh.
