Penrith Race 5 - Steps For Love Of Living Pace
FINAL PROMISE (5) added to his consistent form when he finished second at this venue last week, beaten 1.8 metres. That was his fifth placing from his last six outings so he deserves a win. Could achieve it here. SPECTA (1) didn't do a bad job when fourth from a wide barrier at Newcastle last time out. Should get his chance from the ace draw. WOT DYA RECKON (3) has won when fresh before and was readied with a trial in a city placing. Draws well so look for a strong return. HOMEBOUND (7) placed in a higher-graded race two back and was solid from this row last week. Include.

Failed to impress last start; surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr1) over 1720m after showing early speed at this track beaten 17 m by Rally Around (2:06.00) on August 27 at $5. Showed ability the run before when he won by a nose when quickly away, (Fr3) at Bathurst (2:07.30) beating Terryrama in on August 19 at $5 at the bell was leading 1.77. Draws for a good showing.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3 m second behind Cornelius at this track over 1720m last start. Before that was beaten 2.5 metres third again at this track over 2125m same class on August 20. With even luck she can be there at the business end.
