GOING:

STARDUST CIRCUS @ PENRITH SHOWGROUND PACE 2125m

Track: GOOD      

HAPPY TOO YA (2) has been hard to fault of late and made it two wins in a row at this venue when successful at his latest appearance over this distance, leading from this barrier and getting home by 4 metres. Takes another step up in grade but should go forward again so can land the hat trick. REFUSAL (8) resumes after good success last prep, winning on three occasions. Has scored fresh before and should be ready to go after placing in two recent trials. CAPTAIN BART (7) returns to a circuit where he has recorded a win and two placings in three attempts including a second after racing parked two back. ONE FOR THE RODI (9) enjoys a class drop on the last outing. Won in similar grade at Newcastle last month and has a consistent record at this circuit and distance.
