Expecting a strong tempo over this journey. PENNYPACKER (3) is racing well. Scored here two back then finished second, beaten half a length, over 1100m at this track at the latest appearance two weeks ago. Reunites with Mitch Goring who has two wins from three rides. Bold showing expected. DANCE WIZZARD (5) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished fifth when fresh from a spell two starts back then improved and scored over 1000m at Cloncurry six days ago, getting home by 4 lengths. Major player. LAST DITCH EFFORT (2) built on a nice second two starts back with success over 1200m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by a neck. Anticipating another big run. ZAVABOOM (4) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1000m at this track. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Ready to go one better. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pennypacker win.
