Penrith Race 3 - Capital Corporation Pace
VIOLET HANOVER (6) enjoyed the big drop in grade from the Group 1 Breeders Challenge 3F Final when took she advantage of the inside draw to lead and win by 3 metres over this distance last week. That took her record at this circuit to four wins and four placings from eight attempts. Draws wide but is good enough to overcome that. CAPTAIN BLOOD (5) will enjoy a lower barrier after drawing very wide last start at Menangle. Has been tackling higher-graded races but the last time he raced at this sort of level he won at Newcastle last month. BETTINE (2) backs up quickly but draws well and must be considered after she finished runner-up from a wider barrier here on Monday. NITRO DANNY (4) has been coming from the back row lately and was held up when midfield last time but did well to place prior.

Didn't do much last time out, 7th (Sr3) over 1720m at this track, beaten 20 m by Charlies Ace (2:03.30) in 3yo+ 1LTW so eligible 3yo+ NR50 on November 3 at $14. Before that 7th (Fr1) over 1720m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 50 m by Alta Sierra (2:01.50) in NR up to 90 on October 30 at $61. Hard to have on those efforts.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Lux Aeterna at Menangle over 1609m in a 4yo G3 No NR M on October 25 at $151. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second after a quick start, behind Gimme A Reason at this track over 1720m in a NR 40 to 52 on November 3 at $26. Draws well so is one of the key runners.

Fair run when beaten by 5.5 m finishing fourth behind Ideal Redemption at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 48 on October 23 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Violet Hanover at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 55 on October 30 at $71. Can play a role in the finish again.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr10) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 13 m by Montefiore (1:51.80) in NR up to 80 on November 1 at $41. The run prior 8th (Fr1) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 21 m by Catchafire (1:50.70) in NR up to 80 on October 25 at $71. From a better draw can play a major role.

Last start won by 3 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (2:05.40) beating Whereishe in NR up to 55 on October 30 at $1.20 at the bell was leading 0.82. Can overcome a wider draw to win again.

Didn't do much last time out, 5th (Sr3) over 1720m at this track, beaten 30 m by Soho Gunslinger (2:02.70) in NR 53 to 60 on November 3 at $23.

Not keen on his chances in this line-up.
