Penrith Race 8 - Major Oak Theatre Restaurant Book Now Pace
CARIBBEAN RUNA (2) should be peaking following three top-four finishes off a let-up. Came from a couple of spots wider to place at Goulburn last week. Should get her chance from this favourable draw. LOOKIN GOOD MARGIE (5) was a beaten favourite but still turned in a decent performance last start when she led and battled on well but found one better to make it three minor placings from her past four starts here. Draws wider but looks close to another win. DANCING WITH MY EX (3) was pulled up after breaking gear and galloping last start. Recorded a string of top-four finishes here prior including a second from this barrier so is worth another chance. ED MENDES (9) came from a similar barrier for third last week and won here prior. Go well again.

Didn't do much at the last run, 8th (Sr2) over 1720m at this track, at the bell was 8th-12.23 beaten 13 m by Sir Knight (2:05.20) in NR up to 47 on January 29 at $51. Before that 9th (Fr2) over 1720m at this track beaten 55 m by Allornothinglevi (2:02.40) in NR up to 47 on December 18 at $126. Draws well but needs to improve.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fourth behind Mickey Be Nimble at Menangle over 1609m in a NR up to 45 on January 20 at $12. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Oursurfinsafari at Goulburn over 1710m in a NR up to 50 M on January 27 at $7.50. Draws well and could be ready to strike.

Good run 3.5 metres second behind Ed Mendes at this track over 1720m NR up to 45 on January 22. Broke gear and galloped when he failed to finish behind Lynnsanity on January 29 at this track over 1720m NR up to 47. Was going well before the last-start mishap and draws nicely so worth another chance.
