Penrith Race 3 - Sky Racing Active Pace
OBADIAH DRAGON NZ (4) came from wider than this to win at Newcastle two starts ago before tacking stronger company at his latest appearance at Menangle. This is a much more suitable assignment and he won the only time he attempted this circuit and distance. CHARLIES ACE NZ (7) is another that found a city race beyond her last start but she dug deep to win by a head in a higher-graded race at this venue prior so is better placed. OURTREACHEROUS REIGN NZ (1) has been coming from wider or second row barriers so the ace draw can spark improvement. WHEREISHE (5) deserves respect off a last-start win by 6.7 metres at this circuit and distance.
