Penrith Race 5 - Fisho's Raffles @ Club Paceway Every Friday Night Pace
ULTIMATE CRUZA (5) turned in an uncharacteristically poor run most recently when 30 metres away in sixth over 1609m at Newcastle. Left punching into the pace out wide there so we can be forgiving. Same draw this time and he would love a softer run to be at his best but he has the ability to knock this lot off. TOMAHAWK BART (1) was far from disgraced at his latest appearance over 1609m at Menangle, beaten just 1.2 metres into fourth. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Beautifully placed and looms as a big threat. FIRE FOX NZ (10) is the next best after finishing third over 1720m at this track last time out while BLACK ONYX (11) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 8 metres at this track over 1720m.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 4th (Fr8) over 1609m after showing early pace at Menangle beaten 1.2 m by Raging Whitebait (1:53.20) on August 8 at $9. Before that, was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr10) over 1609m at Menangle was 9th-16.14 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Im Rockin It (1:53.70) on August 1 at $21. A better run is on the cards.

Well beaten last start by Black Onyx, a rival who he faces again; was restrained, when 16 metres fifth at this track over 1720m in a race on August 13. Would prefer to see a return to form before recommending.

Last start was well beaten into sixth behind San Sebastian at Newcastle over 1609m on August 14 at $2.30. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at Newcastle beaten a nose by Little Demon (1:53.60) on August 7 at $2.50. Well placed and expected to bounce back.

Last start game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr4) over 1720m at this track beaten 13 m by Black Onyx (2:02.60) on August 13 at $34. Two runs back won by a neck (Sr1) at this track (2:04.10) beating Major Art in on August 6 at $10. Capable of going well again despite the second row draw.
