Penrith Race 9 - Penrith Highland Festival @ Penrith Showground Oct 3 Pace
ADERFAKI (3) put the writing on the wall last week, coming from a wider barrier for a 2.5m second at Bathurst. Should be reaching peak fitness now and gets his chance from a good draw. SO CAN EYE (9) came from a similar draw and had to work last start. May need some luck on his side but he is a player off his placing three back at Newcastle. NEED FOUR SPEED (8) is another that cops a second line draw but he is on the radar after a decent effort for fifth here two weeks ago. GARRYS LARRY (2) draws well so may be competitive.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 2260m after being wide early at Bathurst, beaten 75 m by Always A Sam (2:48.50) on August 28 at $41. Before that 7th (Sr2) over 1660m at Parkes, at the bell was 7th-12.4 beaten 11 m by Baby El Ay (2:06.60) on August 21 at $41. Looking to others.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after a quick start, behind Absolute Weapon at Bathurst over 1730m on August 5 at $18. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Classic Beesmack at Bathurst over 1730m on August 28 at $26. Heading the right way and gets his chance.

Didn't do much last time out, broke in score up and was out of position at the start 10th (Fr2) over 1720m at this track, well beaten by Sonny Writer (2:05.70) on July 9 at $81. Before that was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr4) over 1720m at this track, at the bell was 7th-11.26 beaten 10 m by Cantplza Malteeza (2:06.80) on July 2 at $151. Finds a few better. Cannot enthuse.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Addocar at this track over 1720m on August 6 at $81. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Cornelius at this track over 1720m on August 27 at $81. Maybe a place.

Deserves another chance.
