Penrith Race 2 - Tab Regional Championship - Metropolitan Heat Two
PLAYA BLANCA (9) registered another strong performance last start when she battled on well to be beaten just over 2m at Menangle, adding to a string of placings. Hard to know where she gets to from this awkward draw but she has a decent record at this circuit and distance so with even luck could break through. MAGNETIC STORM (1) overcame a wide barrier to score easily in the city two starts back before placing here last time. Up in grade but gets the aid of the ace draw. WHEREISHE (3) gets the same draw he had when recording a last-start win by 10 metres at this circuit and distance. Could go on with it. WITHDISTINCTION (5) has been freshened since breaking in the Junee Cup last time but was kept up to the mark with a trial and had some decent form prior including a Menangle second from a wider barrier three back.

Last start game effort when 3rd (Fr4) over 2125m after showing early pace at this track, at the bell was 3rd-3.98 beaten 2 m by Uncle Tiger (2:34.90) in NR up to 57 on March 5 at $6. Two runs back posted a big 23 m win when quickly away, (Fr8) at Menangle (1:52.40) beating Sharjah in 3yo+ 0LTW so eligible 3yo+ NR47 on February 24 at $4.20 at the bell was leading 7.45. The inside draw can see him right in the thick of things.

Good run when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Colossal Hope at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR up to 58 on February 20 at $9. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Catseye Beach at Menangle over 1609m in a NR up to 80 on February 28 at $51. In fine form. Has been racing well and with even luck from the back row may prove tough to beat.
