Penrith Race 8 - Major Oak Theatre Restaurant 3Yo Pace
TARAS TEMPTATION (7) has been racing well of late. Recorded her fifth placing from her last seven starts when she finished second at her latest appearance at this circuit and distance, beaten 3.4 metres. Won't spend a penny from this draw and if she gets the gaps she could take care of this line-up. CAPTAINS DELIGHT (1) has been competitive of late. Placed two back at this circuit and distance and kept the ball rolling last time when she came from the back row for fourth. Race fit now and should get every chance from the ace draw. TOLLSA KING (9) was outclassed in a Gold Chalice heat at Bathurst last start but is much better off at maiden level and has placed in all three attempts at this circuit and distance. PLEASANT HEIGHTS (2) draws a couple of spots lower than when tackling stronger company last time and had shown some promise when runner-up on debut prior.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after showing early speed, behind Inside Magic at this track over 1720m in a 3yo NR up to 55 on March 26 at $34. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Stannum at this track over 1720m in a MAIDEN on April 2 at $9.50. Forward performance expected.
