Penrith Race 4 - Markets @ Penrith Showground Every Thursday Pace
THIS IS HEAVEN (4) turned in another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at Newcastle. Has the talent to take care of this field which does include a couple of last start winners and they are the ones that are feared most. MY ULTIMATE BUDDHA (9) scored at his most recent outing by 5 metres in a nice return to form at Menangle over 1609m. Draw is no bonus but he must be a threat along with GISSELLE (5) who lobs off a last-start win by 7 metres at this track over 1720m. That has to be respected. ADMIRABLE NZ (3) has drawn to advantage and should give backers a sight.

Last start 4th (Sr2) over 2125m at this track, beaten 5.5 m by Nothingbutwaves (2:35.50) on August 13 at $26. Two runs back 8th (Sr3) over 1720m at this track beaten 11 m by Wingman Lou (2:03.20) on August 6 at $61. Hard to have on those efforts.

Last start 10th (Fr2) over 2125m at this track beaten 25 m by Kates Virtue (2:35.90) on August 13 at $10. Two runs back won by a head after showing early speed, (Fr5) at this track (2:07.40) beating Maverick in on July 30 at $4.60 at the bell was leading 2.97. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr1) over 2125m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 7 m by Nothingbutwaves (2:35.50) on August 13 at $3.40. Before that, 5th (Sr2) over 1720m at this track beaten 7 m by Wingman Lou (2:03.20) on August 6 at $34. Capable of a better showing.

Freshened-up since the last run 34 days ago. Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Eye Can Ear Amour at Newcastle over 1609m 3yo last start. Before that was beaten 2.25 metres fifth at Menangle same class on July 11. Hard to beat.

Didn't do much last start, was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr6) over 1720m at this track, beaten 17 m by Jacquelyn Joy (2:05.70) on August 6 at $31. Before that surrendered the lead and finished 10th (Fr8) over 1609m after showing early pace at Menangle, at the bell was 4th-12.62 beaten 16 m by Kelloshiel (1:52.20) in 3yo+ on July 28 at $5.50. Hard to make a case.
