GOING: F

WEDNESDAY MARKETS @ PENRITH SHOWGROUND PACE 1720m

Track: FAST      

EL CAMINO (3) was far from disgraced when midfield from a back row draw last week after racing parked but sticking on for a 1.4m second at this venue prior. Strikes at 50 per cent at this distance and is likely to get the favours from this nice draw. Big chance. DOUGS FLAME (8) draws on the back row but races very well here with two wins and a placing from three tries. He looks a major player off his victory at Menangle two starts ago. DONTLETFEARSTOPYA (1) was well fancied last start and led from this draw but faded. He is better than that and if he performs up to his close second after working here last month he is a hope. NOTSOKOOL (5) was only beaten 2.7m at Newcastle last week and won here prior. Go well.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 7th (Fr1) over 1720m after showing early speed at this track was 2nd-0.4 at the bell, beaten 17 m by Gipsy Princess (2:07.80) in NR up to 70 on July 1 at $2.70. The run before 5th (Sr1) over 1720m at this track, at the bell was 8th-12.18 beaten 11 m by Til Heavens Rockn (2:04.30) in NR up to 68 on June 26 at $5. Draws the inside again and is worth another chance.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 7th (Fr7) over 2300m at Menangle was 6th-9.63 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Guilty Party (2:47.10) in NR up to 80 on July 12 at $41. Showed ability the outing before when he won by a head (Fr3) at Menangle (1:52.90) beating Double Fear in NR up to 70 on June 24 at $16 at the bell was 6th-9.83. May prove hard to beat.
