GOING:

MARKETS @ PENRITH SHOWGROUND EVERY THURSDAY PACE 2125m

Track: GOOD      

KIKI MEISTER (3) will be fitter for the recent racing and put the writing on the wall at Newcastle last week, coming from a very wide barrier when 3 metres from the winner in second. Had enough speed to lead there so can taken advantage of this more favourable starting position. NOTHINGBUTWAVES (7) enjoyed a class drop at the latest appearance, racing parked but digging deep to score by 3.7 metres at this venue. Draws for a trail and if she gets the gaps she can keep the ball rolling. DOWN WARD DOG (2) draws better than last week. Runner-up here two back and won his only attempt at this distance so deserves another chance. SOVEREIGN PLACE (1) hasn't raced since a win at Menangle nine weeks ago but goes well fresh and gets the ace draw so keep safe.

Resuming after a spell of nine weeks. Finished off last campaign recording a big 4 m win when quickly away, (Fr6) at Menangle (1:56.10) beating Warrawees Shout in MAIDEN on February 17 at $4.60. Previous preparation first-up won by a nose when quickly away, (Fr3) at this track (2:06.90) beating Thats Wicked in MAIDEN on December 4 at $4.60. Drawn to advantage so looking for a good return.

Last start was well beaten into tenth after being driven well back, behind Nicely Spoken at this track over 1720m in a NR 55 to 58 on April 16 at $6. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 2nd (Sr1) over 1720m at this track was 3rd-3.6 at the bell, beaten 5 m by Palatino (2:04.10) in NR up to 58 on April 2 at $3.60. Nicely drawn this time and can bounce back.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Ruby Romar at Newcastle over 1609m in a 3yo NR up to 58 on April 10 at $1.75. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Lochinvar Marcello at Newcastle over 1609m in a 3yo NR up to 60 on April 17 at $6. Better last start and from a good draw could be ready to strike.
