GEMTOPIA @ PENRITH PACEWAY MAY 2 & 3 PACE 1720m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|

HAPPY TOO YA (1) has been racing at Menangle of late and producing some decent efforts including a win last month when he led throughout so has has the gate speed to take advantage of the inside draw here. Strong claims. LOOKIN GOOD MARGIE (9) has been very competitive since winning at this circuit and distance last month, last week beaten only 2 metres in a higher-graded race. May just need a bit of luck from the back row but this suits. HESAA LISTER (3) disappointed as favourite last time but was racing well prior so may be worth another chance. DAVOLAS LEGACY (8) is worth plenty of thought having come from this row for a last-start win at this circuit and distance.
