Penrith Race 4

Bingo @ Club Paceway Every Wednesday Pace

Stake: $10,575

SET UP (4) is a progressive three-year-old who has had a let-up since winning his last three outings at this circuit, all of them by big margins and the last two from this barrier. That stretched his unbeaten record here two six. Hard to tip against him with those statistics. ALTA SIERRA (2) comes off midfield finishes in both rounds of the Regional Championships series. Led from one spot wider when he won here prior. Should make an impact. FREEDOM ART (1) was far from disgraced when midfield from this draw in a NSW Oaks heat then dropped in class and overcame a back row draw to win at Newcastle last time. From the inside barrier she deserves respect along with KATES VIRTUE (3) who came from the back row in scoring last start by 1.5 metres at this venue.

In good form. Posted a big 21 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr4) at this track (2:35.20) beating Hot Cruise Control in NR up to 60 on April 17 at $1.05 at the bell was leading 1.7m on the pegs. Two runs back won by 13 m as favourite (Fr4) at this track (2:36.70) beating Jus Bling It in NR up to 53 on April 3 at $1.10. Racking up the wins so is hard to go past.

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Fr4) over 1720m at this track was leading by 1.12 at the bell, beaten 25 m by Luke John (2:03.20) in NR up to 65 on May 8 at $5. Showed ability the race before when he won by 3.5 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at this track (2:03.90) beating Better Harley in NR up to 57 on May 1 at $2 at the bell was leading 2.5. Worth including.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following May 8 run. Last start won by 2.5 m (Sr3) at this track (2:34.00) beating Grey Cadillac in NR up to 52 on May 15 at $17 at the bell was 7th-15.59. This race will be harder than that win. Needs to do more. This is tougher.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
