Penrith Race 9 - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town 2Yo Pace

CALZAGHE NZ (8) is a lightly raced but progressive juvenile who kicked off his campaign with two seconds before breaking his maiden at Menangle last week. Draws on the back row but is race fit and looks ready to go through his grades now. MY ULTIMATE FRANCO NZ (7) only beat a couple home when resuming as a hot favourite but that was his first outing for nearly four months so the hitout should have improved him. Draws for a trail and could be a big improver. COMPLETE STRANGER (2) looks close to a win after two successive placings from wider barriers at Menangle. Chance to break through. WHITBYS DELIGHT NZ (5) could take the next step after coming from a similar barrier for a winning debut at Goulburn last week.
