Penola Race 5 - Omnizar Hcp (56)
SUPREME THUNDER (6) came from the clouds to snatch victory over 1430m at Naracoorte and with that kind of closing speed he's right in the mix again if the tempo suits. OFF THE CUFF (13) doesn't win out of turn but went down narrowly last start and boasts a solid association with Tzaferis. With another honest effort she's a live chance. COLLATED (3) didn't fire at Balaklava but had strong form prior and is capable of bouncing back in the right conditions. HEADSMART (10) drops back to a winning tip and doesn't lose much in the saddle with Milnes taking over. Don't dismiss.

Recent form sound. Last start favourite; settled well back; won by a long-neck at Naracoorte 0-54 April 6 over 1430m defeating Off The Cuff with 58.5kg at $3.60. The run before that 2nd of 12 at Mt Gambier 0-54 on March 21 over 1400m, 0.6 len behind Lucky Compass carrying 58kg at $5. Back in form and rates a leading player.

Second-up. First-up after five months 14th of 16 at Murray Bridge 0-56 (App Only) on April 9 over 1400m, 19 len behind Katim's Club with 57kg at $26. Previously second-up 2nd in a small field at Morphettville Parks Nmw on September 7 over 1950m, on a slow track; long-neck behind Flamin' Romans with 54kg at $21. Others make more appeal especially from his bad gate.
