Penrith Race 6 - Aussie Night Markets Returns From Feb 2026 3Yo Pace
BLAZING HIGH (9) is progressive having come from tricky draws to finish runner-up in both outings since a Newcastle win. Raced wide from a similar barrier to this when a 1.3m second two back. Up to winning this with even luck. BELLAMYS BLAST (8) will be fitter for his resuming effort when he came from a similar draw to this for fourth at this circuit and distance. Had shown ability in his maiden campaign. Improver. MICKEYS RUN (7) did some work but went on to break his maiden with a 1.7m win when resuming at Newcastle. Has had a month off since but has been kept up to the mark with a trial and has upside. STANNUM (2) draws well and is open to improvement off a close second from a wider barrier when resuming at Newcastle.
