Penrith Race 8 - Halloween Food Fest @ The Paceway Oct 30-31 Pace
CRUNCHIE DIVA (3) has switched yards since an encouraging debut six months ago where she placed at Cranbourne. Likely to have developed in the time away and was readied with a second in a trial here. A good draw could see her strike fresh. EYE CAN EAR AMOUR (6) has produced some solid efforts since winning here on debut including a fourth from a similar barrier at Menangle last week. This looks a winnable assignment. MAGNETIC STORM (9) cops a tougher draw but deserves respect off a last-start win by 9 metres at this circuit. TIGER EUPHEME (2) draws lower than last start and had placed at her previous two outings here so is worth another chance.

Three-year-old filly facing the starter for the second time. At debut solid effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr2) over 2080m after showing early speed at Cranbourne was 5th-8.2m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 12 m by Bella Louise (2:40.10) in MAIDEN on March 30 at $3.90. Could kick off for the new yard with a win.

Comes here second-up after two-and-a-half weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 6th (Fr3) over 1710m at Goulburn, beaten 55 m by Tried And Trusted (2:06.00) in MAIDEN on September 2 at $11. This looks a far sterner task.

Last start won a big 9 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (2:37.00) beating Inside Magic in NR up to 47 on September 11 at $1.90 at the bell was leading 3.25. Awkward draw but in-form and expected to go well again.
