Penrith Race 1 - Hearts & Hooves Pace
PORT AU PRINCE NZ (1) enjoyed the return to the front row when he led and fought on to be beaten less than 3m into third at this circuit and distance last week. Drops in grade for this and has the speed to take advantage of the ace draw so could be hard to catch. CHARLIES ACE NZ (2) has been tackling stronger company of late and was far from disgraced when beaten less than 9 metres at Menangle last time. Led to win here last month so should be prominent from the low draw. TIME TO DANCE NZ (10) faded out in his latest appearance at Menangle but had recorded a string of wins or placings prior and hasn't missed the top-three at this circuit and distance so is worth another chance. SLYX NZ (9) draws on the second row this week but continues to race well so respect.

Solid run when a close second after being driven well back, behind Obadiah Dragon at this track over 2125m in a NR 54 to 57 on January 29 at $14. Then a handy effort when a close second after being driven well back, behind The Best Of You at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 53 on February 5 at $9.50. Likely to go well again.

Last start was well beaten into seventh after a quick start, behind Oakie Smokeshow at Menangle over 1609m in a 3yo+ 2LTW so eligible 3yo+ NR55 on February 3 at $6. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 3rd (Fr6) over 1710m after showing early speed at Goulburn beaten 5.5 m by Refusal (2:02.10) in NR up to 58 on January 27 at $12. Tricky draw but suited dropping back from city grade.
