Penrith Race 8 - Christmas In July Race Night Thursday 23 July 2yo Pace
UNJUST ENRICHMENT (10) is racing well having yet to miss the top-three this time in. Broke his maiden two back at Newcastle before placing from this row last week. If things go his way from a tricky draw he could win this. BORN TO RAVISH (3) was well in the betting when resuming but only beat a couple home. Was trialling well prior and placed in his only previous attempt. Draws well and should be fitter so is worth another chance. STEELY ZAC (4) did a good job to come from the back row and finish third on debut at this circuit and distance. Steps out of maiden grade here but is open to natural improvement. LUCIENDO BIEN (11) started favourite on debut but broke so did well to recover for fourth. Cops a tough draw but has upside.

Well beaten last start by Unjust Enrichment, a rival who he faces again; was restrained, when 25 metres eighth at Newcastle over 1609m in a 2yo race on June 15. Unlikely to threaten.

Fair last start; was well back in the run when 5th (Fr7) over 1609m at Newcastle was 6th-12.4 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Paiges Boulder (1:55.50) in 2yo on June 19 at $8.50. Showed ability the run before when he won by a head (Fr7) at Newcastle (1:57.00) beating River Wash in 2yo on June 1 at $3.60 at the bell was 5th-12.1. Capable of featuring.
