Penrith Race 8

Starz Gameshow Every Sat Night @ Club Paceway Pace

Stake: $7,491

IMA SHINKANSEN (2) has been going around in higher-graded races, twice finishing close to the placegetters before coming from the back row when midfield last time. He'll relish this easier level and draws to advantage. SUNSHINE KARAMEA (1) hasn't featured since a second here last month but has been let down by manners a couple of times. Aided by the ace draw so is a player if he gets it right. GOODTIME MIKI (7) should find this easier than recent attempts so is in the mix. WHY NOT SURF (3) showed good improvement when fourth here last time out. Fitter again third-up so can progress further.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Backing up quickly after 8th (Fr6) over 1720m at this track, well beaten by Decipher (2:08.90) in NR up to 48 on June 9 at $7. The run previous was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr6) over 2125m at this track beaten 22 m by Jus Bling It (2:37.00) in NR up to 47 on June 5 at $41. Should get his chance from this draw.
