Penrith Race 8 - Ponderosa Pest Control Ladyship Pace
LA FAMILIA NZ (6) suffered her first defeat since switching from NZ when she bombed the start at Menangle last time but had been dominant in winning her first three starts in Australia, two of them here. Draws wide will enjoy the class drop so can return to the winners' list. TIGERLICIOUS (7) has been knocking on the door for a while, coming from this row to place in two of her last three outings, Primary contender. JETASI NZ (8) draws on the back row but has done well to win two of her last three starts, overcoming wide barriers both times. LOOKIN GOOD MARGIE (2) will find this easier than the last attempt in the city and went close from this barrier here prior.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after being driven well back, behind Two Cracked Corn at Newcastle over 1609m on September 25 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Tactical Illusion at Bathurst over 1730m on October 14 at $11. Gets the ace draw so may go well again.

Didn't do much last start, was well back in the run when 10th (Fr6) over 1720m at this track, beaten 40 m by Last Time Joe (2:01.50) on October 8 at $51.

Wait until the form picks up.

Broke in the score-up when a beaten favourite last start when eighth at Menangle on October 3. Was racking up the wins prior, proving too good the start before at this track on September 24. Rates highly. Drops in grade so can return to the winner's list.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after being driven well back, behind Shevchenko at this track over 1720m on October 8 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Jetasi at Newcastle over 1609m in a M on October 16 at $4.20. Could be close to a win.
