Penrith Race 3

Penrith Mazda Pace

Stake: $10,575

MUFASA BART (1) broke and raced wide when midfield in the city in his first outing for this yard then drew wider and locked wheels when a 4m second last week at Newcastle. This is stronger but he should get his chance from the ace draw. BARA RILEY (5) had been racing consistently before overcoming a second row draw to post a 1.8m win here last week. Could go on with it. CHARLIES ACE (4) chased BARA RILEY when runner-up last week and draws a couple of spots closer to the pegs. Genuine threat. BETTER HARLEY (8) was beaten only 3.4m into second when resuming from this row and is open to improvement.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Lets Turn It On at Menangle over 1609m in a 13yo+ LTW Also eligible 3yo+ NR50 on May 6 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Beancounter at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR up to 47 on May 16 at $5.50. Winning prospects.

Fair performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Madazalways at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 53 on May 8 at $14. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Maid Of Money at this track over 2125m in a NR up to 52 on May 15 at $3.80. Not easy from this draw.

Expected Settling Position: Pace
