Penrith Race 3 - Major Oak Theatre Restaurant Pace
A VAPAR STORM (9) continues to race well at this circuit, coming from a similar barrier to this last week to add to a string of top-four finishes. If things go his way from the second line he could break through. VESPA STRIDE (6) wasn't too far away in his last two starts from back row draws. Came from a similar barrier to this for a win here three back. Strong claims. OURSURFINSAFARI (1) was runner-up from this draw last start and can be involved again. DASHING CHEDDAR (3) was solid from the back row last start and should get every chance from a favourable draw.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr1) over 2125m after showing early speed at this track was 3rd-3.77 at the bell, beaten 4.5 m by The Devils Flame (2:37.70) in NR up to 48 on July 10 at $11. Draws well so is likely to play a major role.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind The Devils Flame at this track over 2125m in a NR up to 48 on July 10 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second behind Astral Stride at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 48 on July 17 at $10. Can go close.
