Penrith Race 2 - The Management Edge Rto Pace
OUR ULTIMATE LAYLA (9) didn't have the best of luck when a beaten favourite last start but was good here two back when she came from this row to miss by a nose. That added to a string of top-four finishes. Can break through with even luck. LOOKIN GOOD MARGIE (7) is in good form with a string of top-three finishes at this venue including a win two back. Led and boxed on to go under by 1.7m on Monday. Draws for a trail and is a danger with even luck. BART MAGUIRE (8) gave a good sight last time out when third at Menangle. That was his first hitout for six weeks so it should have improved him. JUS BLING IT (10) is suited returning to a circuit where he owns a good record including a win from a similar draw earlier this month.

Didn't do much at the last run, was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr3) over 1720m at this track was 7th-13.2m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 10 m by What For (2:05.50) in NR up to 31 on April 14 at $61. Before that 8th (Fr2) over 1720m at this track, beaten 25 m by Theres Wally (2:05.40) in NR up to 48 on April 3 at $126. This looks tough.

Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Nitro Danny at Menangle over 1609m in a 3yo+ WAlso eligible 3yo+ NR45 on May 20 at $2.90. With even luck is a winning chance.
