Penrith Race 5 - Col Evans Memorial

MERRYWOOD PAUL (4) was solid last week when he raced parked and stuck on for fifth in a higher-graded race at Menangle. Had put together a string of top-two finishes before that including a win two back so must rate highly returning to this circuit. HEAVENLY BELLE (3) has ground to make up on MERRYWOOD PAUL on their last clash but she owns a good record at this distance and draws well so is worth another chance. CHARLIES ACE (1) was far from disgraced when midfield in the city last start and she did a good job to overcome a second row draw and win here two back. This is stronger but she is aided by the ace draw. FIRST CLASS (2) draws well and is a player off a win two back at Newcastle.
