Penrith Race 8 - Circus Spectacular Sept 7 & 8 Pace

LEXUS LOU (3) was well backed on debut last time out and tried very hard, making up plenty of ground to be beaten just 4 metres over 1720m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Won't find this any harder and he can make the breakthrough. CAPTAIN GROOVE (8) is at the track for the first time. By Captaintreacherous and hails from the Rickie Alchin stable. Drawn to enjoy a nice run, with luck possibly playing a role at some point. Has strong trial form coming into this. Will be right there at the business end. SPITFIRE (4) looks close to a win after finishing fourth over 1720m at this track last time out. DOUBLE SAID (5) is in the mix at his first run since finishing third over 2140m at Bankstown three months ago.
