Penrith R2 TAB LONG MAY WE PLAY PACE

Race comment

Held up for a run early in the straight when 2.7m 4th $71 (Fr2) Vantori Hanover Menangle 1609m (1:53.8) 3R4454 race May 11 then looked good defeating Schnappshot 6m $1.60 (Fr4) Penrith 1720m (1:58.8) R3952 race May 24. Last start winner and even fitter for this; extra distance not a problem and could repeat.

Checked and broke when 18.7m 10th $4.60 (Fr4) Roscommon Rose Wagga Paceway 1740m (1:57.0) 3R4754 race Mar 31 then easy winner $2.40 (Fr6) defeating Moresco 12m Menangle 1609m (1:55.9) R3450 race Apr 17. Was an easy winner last start and stays in the mix despite a sticky draw.

Resuming from a spell. Eased early, hung out and raced roughly when distanced 10th $23 (Fr6) Mini Major Canberra 2170m (2:02.5) R5055 race Feb 2 then broke twice in running when distanced 8th $17 (Fr2) Gone Way Back Canberra 2170m (2:00.2) R5155 race Feb 10. First up and unplaced in 5 previous first up runs.

Beaten 19.7m 5th $126 (Fr3) Focus Stride Bathurst 2260m (1:57.4) 3R4561 race Mar 23 then failed to get a clear run when 1.5m 2nd $1.60 (Fr2) Atomic Bombshell Penrith 2125m (2:03.6) R4855 race Apr 30. A better run last start when 2nd at this track and overall form consistent; each way.

Eased early when 24.5m 6th $151 (Fr4) Magnifico To Watch Penrith 1720m (1:58.1) R3657 race Apr 16 then beaten 8.5m 8th $151 (Fr4) Tapthekeg Penrith 2125m (2:00.9) R3455 race May 14. Need to lift.

Race comment

Tired over the latter stages and checked when distanced 9th $6.00 (Fr6) Hey Mister Taylor Penrith 2125m (1:59.7) R3850 race May 7 then ran 12.7m 5th $7.00 (Sr2) Yankee Dancer NZ Penrith 1720m (2:00.0) R4451 race May 24. Had issues two back and sound in three other recent runs; drawn ideally and definite contender.

Race comment

Finished 5.2m 2nd $5.00 (Fr3) Cowboys N Indians NZ Menangle 1609m (1:55.3) R4255 race May 11 then beaten 23.5m 5th $4.40 (Fr5) Mister Armstrong Penrith 1720m (1:58.8) R3952 race May 24. Usually thereabouts and fitter for recent racing; one for the exotics.

Race comment

Finished 22.5m 8th $41 (Sr3) Oursouthernstar Penrith 2125m (1:58.5) R3756 race May 14 then beaten 9.5m 2nd $61 (Sr1) Seismic Penrith 1720m (1:57.6) R4654 race May 24. Not hopeless on latest effort.
