Penrith Race 1 - Bird Yard Big Band @ The Paceway Oct 12 Pace
SOHO GUNSLINGER (3) has been impressive in his two wins off a long spell, claiming a Breeders Challenge heat at Menangle when fresh before leading from one spot wider than this and cruising home by 19 metres at Newcastle last start. Can deliver again. STARTIN TO GOGH (6) is close to another win after seconds in his past four starts, the last three coming at Menangle. Draws wide but races well here. WILLIAMS (4) will enjoy the return to the front row and is another with the hoof on the till after narrow defeats in the last two outings. HELLOVATIME (2) is another that has been racing consistently and is aided by more a favourable draw.

Solid run when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Soho Washington at this track over 2125m in a NR up to 47 on September 25 at $21. Then a handy effort when a close third behind Heavenly Reason at this track over 2125m in a NR up to 52 on October 2 at $4.60. Going well and draws to advantage.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Heavenly Reason at this track over 2125m NR up to 52 last start. Before that was beaten a head second at Bathurst over 2260m in NR up to 48 on September 24. Likely to play a major role.
