Penrith R2 ISO-HUNGRY @ THE PACEWAY PACE

Race comment

Beaten 16.5m 4th $17 (Sr4) Katamach NZ Penrith 2125m (1:58.4) R5665 race Apr 23 then raced wide early, inconvenienced and covered extra ground when 1.5m 3rd $4.00 (Fr6) My Ultimate Star Penrith 2125m (1:58.9) R5165 race May 7. No luck last start and fitter now; could be ready to show best.

Race comment

Slow to begin when 37m 9th $126 (Fr3) Lightning Bob Newcastle 1609m (1:55.1) R5872 race Apr 18 then eased early when 34.5m 8th $126 (Fr8) Jay Ok Menangle 1609m (1:53.5) R5465 race May 8. Recent form poor.

Race comment

Held on well when 9.2m 6th $10.00 (Fr3) Some Waratah Menangle 1609m (1:53.2) R5862 race Apr 27 then inconvenienced when beaten 8.5m 7th $8.50 (Fr1) Bracken Knight Penrith 2125m (1:58.6) R5976 race May 7. Has a sound record at this track and distance (2 from 8) and worth an each way ticket.

Race comment

Looked good defeating No Doubt NZ 1.7m $6.00 (Fr2) Penrith 1720m (1:59.0) R5164 race Apr 30 then eased early when 48m 9th $151 (Fr8) First String Menangle 2300m (1:55.9) R5670 race May 5. Mixing form lately but not out of it on solid win at this track and distance two back.

Race comment

Out of position at the start when distanced 10th $151 (Fr1) Modern Metropolis Menangle 1609m (1:53.5) R5763 race Apr 17 then beaten 23.5m 6th $61 (Fr2) My Ultimate Star Penrith 2125m (1:58.9) R5165 race May 7. Could be thereabouts and stays in the mix for wider exotics.

Race comment

Slow to begin when 9.2m 7th $151 (Fr2) My Patronus NZ Penrith 1720m (1:58.0) R5266 race Apr 16 then eased early when 12.5m 10th $126 (Fr5) Besocial Penrith 1720m (1:59.0) R5164 race Apr 30. Not fancied on current form.

Race comment

Raced wide early and raced roughly when 11.2m 9th $31 (Fr5) Boobalaga Road Menangle 1609m (1:55.7) R5763 race Apr 27 then beaten 22.5m 4th $71 (Sr1) My Ultimate Star Penrith 2125m (1:58.9) R5165 race May 7. Improved effort last start and was placed at this stage last prep; not hopeless.

Race comment

Fought on well defeating Bettys Lass 0.2m $1.90 (Fr3) Penrith 1720m (1:56.9) R5669 race Apr 16 then checked at the start when 3.5m 4th $1.70 (Fr5) Some Waratah Menangle 1609m (1:53.2) R5862 race Apr 27. Winner at 2 of past four runs and not beaten far last start after being hampered at the start; could atone.

Race comment

Finished 4.5m 5th $51 (Fr2) Boobalaga Road Menangle 1609m (1:55.7) R5763 race Apr 27 then eased early and raced wide late when 23m 5th $126 (Fr5) My Ultimate Star Penrith 2125m (1:58.9) R5165 race May 7. Place at best here.

Race comment

Finished 23m 7th $26 (Sr2) Arma Naughty Penrith 2125m (2:00.0) R5665 race Apr 9 then raced wide early when 6.5m 4th $34 (Fr6) Besocial Penrith 1720m (1:59.0) R5164 race Apr 30. Fitter for recent racing and a place chance again.
