Penrith Race 4 - Penrith Mazda Pace
RED SAPPHIRE (5) went well to finish third two starts ago then registered a comfortable victory last time out, scoring by 8 metres over 2125m at this track. Meets a comparable field so he can keep the ball rolling. D J ROCK (2) has not raced for ten months. Looks forward enough for this return after a minor placing in a recent trial. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Will have plenty of admirers. ROCKNROLL GIG (1) is right in contention after finishing in the placings for the second time in a row last start, beaten 12 metres into third at this track. No reason he cannot take this out with the nice draw allowing him to settle closer to the speed. MARATHON MAN (7) is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 1609m at Menangle a week-and-a-half ago when settling at the rear.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Grey Cadillac at this track over 2125m in a NR up to 53 on July 17 at $9. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Rocksie Rock at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 52 on July 24 at $14. Big chance again.

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run 5th (Sr1) over 2160m at Hamilton, beaten 19 m by Keayang Ladybug (2:40.10) in 3yo on September 22 2023 at $2.80. Recent trials will help bring him on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.
