Penrith Race 7 - Major Oak Theatre Restaurant May 16 Book Now 2Yo Pace
PASSION AND PAIN (7) worked forward from a wide barrier to lead before finishing second last time out. Had won two of his previous four outings, both of them at Newcastle. Should enjoy a nice trail from the inside of the second line and if he gets the gaps he could be hard to stop. MAIN BEACH (1) is a son of Downbytheseaside on debut for the Anton Golino yard. Has shown some ability at the trials, placing in his latest hitout at Menangle and is well served by the ace draw. BE HAPPY LARRY (4) is a likely improver after debuting with a solid second behind a promising rival last week at this circuit and distance. MAXIMIAN (2) draws much better than last start and had placed here on debut prior.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Passion And Pain at Newcastle over 1609m in a 2yo NR up to 55 on April 2 at $9. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Disturbance at Newcastle over 1609m in a 2yo 2 WINs on April 17 at $8. Racing well and has to be respected.

Last start was well beaten into second after showing early speed, behind Disturbance at Newcastle over 1609m in a 2yo 2 WINs on April 17 at $1.80. Raced better the start before that where he won by 2 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Newcastle (1:57.30) beating Ferocious Lover in 2yo NR up to 55 on April 2 at $1.45 at the bell was leading 3.4. Likely to feature in a modest line-up.
