Penrith Race 5 - The Frocks @ Club Paceway August 8 Live Pace
HAPPY TOO YA (6) backs up after a good effort to finish only 3.7 metres away in fifth in a higher-graded race at Menangle on Saturday. Draws wide but is suited returning to a venue where he has won three of five attempts. ULTIMATE EMPIRE (7) is racing well having recorded two wins and two minor placings from five starts for this stable. Performed well once again when he came from a wide barrier for third at his latest appearance at Menangle. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and if he gets the gaps he is a winning hope. TOORAM CEE CEE (5) had a wide barrier in a tougher race at Menangle last start but placed from the second line at Newcastle prior and is proven at this circuit and distance. THE GREEK GENERAL (8) hasn't raced for seven weeks but has been kept up to the mark with two city trials, winning the latest.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after showing early speed, behind Buzz Bomb at this track over 1720m on July 2 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Bara Riley at this track over 1720m on July 9 at $4.33. The ace draw can see him competitive.

Last start 4th (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early pace at Menangle, at the bell was 3rd-9.05 beaten 8 m by Go Without (1:53.80) on July 7 at $71.

Before that was driven from back in the field when 10th (Fr4) over 1720m at this track was 10th-18.85 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Uncle Tiger (2:06.80) on June 18 at $51.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Lochinvar Jag at this track over 1720m on June 25 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Go Without at Menangle over 1609m on July 7 at $11. Looks a big chance again.
