Penrith Race 5 - Tab Venue Mode Pace
OBADIAH DRAGON NZ (7) made it two wins from his last three starts when he scored by 4.5 metres on February 13 over 2030m at Newcastle. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go his way at some stage. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. THE METAL FLYER (3) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 13 metres into sixth at Menangle over 1609m. From this far better draw can return to something like his best. FIRE FOX NZ (4) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1720m at this track. KING TIGER (8) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 1.5 metres at this track over 1720m.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing sixth behind Dance With Carmer at Newcastle over 2030m in a NR 71 to 90 on February 6 at $101. Then a handy effort when a close third after a quick start, behind I Break The Line at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR 72 to 80 on February 13 at $23. Has definite claims.
