Penrith Race 8 - Major Oak Theatre Restaurant Returns March 28 Pace
NEED FOUR SPEED (8) could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 1720m at this track, a poor reflection on his short quote. Won't spend a penny from this draw but luck may play a role on the bell lap. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. JANELLE MAY (4) has been racing well of late. Finished fourth at her latest appearance over 1720m at this track, beaten 7 metres. Good enough to put herself in the winners' stall. HESHARLEY (9) deserves consideration after his last-start sixth when resuming over 1720m at this track a week ago. MY FRIEND MOLLY (7) is worth some thought despite her last-start eighth over 2125m at this track on February 5.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten this track over 1720m, 7 days ago before that 6th (Fr1) over 1720m at this track, beaten 23 m by Blazing High (2:05.80) in 3yo 2 WINs on January 15 at $101. Must do a lot more.

Resuming after four-and-a-half months off the scene. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into ninth after showing early speed, behind Charjo at Newcastle over 2030m in a MAIDEN on October 10 at $41. Will be hard to beat despite the layoff.
