Penrith Race 8 - Penrith Highland Festival @ Penrith Showground Oct 3 Pace
AMERICAN BOXER (8) enjoyed a class drop when he came from this barrier and finished second last time out, beaten a neck at this circuit and distance. Meets a comparable field and could go one better. LOOKIN GOOD MARGIE (6) scored at Newcastle two runs ago before continuing her good form by coming from the back row for third at her latest appearance at this circuit and distance, beaten 2.6 metres. Draws wide but she is going well. GREY CADILLAC (10) may need some luck from the back row but has put three placings together, one of them from this barrier. THERES WALLY (7) will find this easier than the last attempt at Menangle and had recorded back-to-back placings here prior.
