Penrith R2 TAB LONG MAY WE PLAY PACE

Race comment

Good run when 3.7m 3rd $8.80 (Fr2) Father Bob Canberra 2570m (2:01.0) R6680 race Feb 2 then held on well when 6.5m 6th $11 (Fr3) Tact Tama NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.7) R6675 race Jun 2. The step up to a winning distance should suit and is fitter for the first up run; contender.

Race comment

Eased early and raced wide early when 15.7m 6th $23 (Fr6) Kiavino Stride Penrith 2125m (1:57.2) R5866 race May 24 then beaten 0.4m 2nd $31 (Sr1) Simply Clever NZ Penrith 2125m (1:59.1) R5666 race Jun 4. Narrowly beaten last start at this course and winner at this stage last prep; could add value to the exotics.

Raced roughly when 5.5m 6th $3.20 (Sr1) Kiavino Stride Penrith 1720m (1:58.2) R5661 race May 14 then held on well when 5.7m 2nd $3.20 (Fr3) Mister H NZ Penrith 1720m (1:56.4) R5974 race May 28. Solid run last start when 2nd at this track and winner at this track four back; not out of it.

Inconvenienced when 21.5m 10th $17 (Fr4) Katamach NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) R5667 race May 26 then eased early when 19.7m 9th $101 (Fr6) Simply Clever NZ Penrith 2125m (1:59.1) R5666 race Jun 4. Mixing form and need to take on trust.

Race comment

Eased early and raced wide late when 21m 8th $8.00 (Fr6) Tsunami Charlie Penrith 1720m (1:55.3) R5664 race Mar 19 then beaten 6m 3rd $41 (Fr2) Kiavino Stride Penrith 2125m (1:57.2) R5866 race May 24. Sound third when resuming last start but is 0 from 4 second up.

Race comment

Handy win $4.60 (Fr4) defeating Tapthekeg 3m Penrith 2125m (2:00.4) R5262 race May 21 then looked good defeating Smoothe Style 3.2m $7.50 (Sr1) Penrith 1720m (1:57.4) R5263 race May 28. Recent form solid with back to back wins; tougher here but warrants respect.

Race comment

Eased early when 25m 5th $101 (Fr9) Wolf Stride Menangle 2300m the GROUP1 Metropolitan Region Champ Final (grp1) May 23 then beaten 22.5m 6th $11 (Sr3) Falcon Stride Penrith 2125m (1:58.0) R6480 race Jun 4. This easier than past couple and previous form solid; could bounce back.
