Penrith Race 7

Sky Racing Active Pace

Stake: $7,491

DANCING WITH MY EX (2) worked and missed the placings as favourite last start but was going well prior, scoring last month at Newcastle and missing by a nose in his next outing. Draws well so can bounce back. BETTING ON COURAGE (4) drew wider than this when fourth two back at Menangle then filled the same position again here last time when off the second row. Can measure up in this line-up. LITTLE CESSNA (1) has come from wide or second row draws at his last couple but will relish the ace draw having scored from there three back. FIFTYSHADES CRESCO (6) can be competitive down in grade and back on the front row.
