Penrith Race 2 - Trainer Of The Year - Kerryann Morris Pace
MISS AUSTRALIANA (1) hasn't raced since a midfield finish in the Vicbred Super Series Final two years ago, capping a successful juvenile season highlighted by a win in the Nutrien Final. Has joined Seaton Grima since and was readied with a recent trial win. The ace draw can see her make a winning return. ELEGANT STRIDE (3) showed improvement for third from the back row at Newcastle last week and has won third-up before so should be fitter again. Draws well and strikes at 50 per cent here. STITCHED UP DAN (4) drops in grade off the last attempt at Menangle and did a good job to win at this circuit and distance prior so can atone. MY ULTIMATE BUDDHA (7) draws for a trail and has first four claims.

Driver: Seaton Grima

First up for two years. At the last run she 6th (Sr1) over 2240m after racing wide at Melton was leading by 3.8m 2WNC at the bell, beaten 21 m by Ivseenheavenslight (2:39.60) in 2yo G1 F on September 14 2024 at $3.10. Won a trial at Menangle which suggests she is quite forward in the preparation. Talented and from the ace draw looks set for a bright return.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after being driven well back, behind Agatha Bloom at Menangle over 1609m in a 3yo on September 15 at $31. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Vintage Edition at Newcastle over 2030m on September 25 at $4.33. Draws well and is working towards a win.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr10) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 25 m by Saint Crusader (1:50.80) in 4yo+ on September 26 at $151. Showed ability the race before when she won by 5 m when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at this track (2:04.70) beating Rally Around in on September 17 at $7.50 at the bell was 5th-4. Better placed so can bounce back.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Golly Gee Fellas at Menangle over 1609m in a M on September 19 at $101. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Tiger Prince at this track over 1720m on September 24 at $21. Can continue with the good form with luck from the awkward draw.
