Penrith Race 5 - Sky Racing Active Pace
JALANEEL (10) drew wide and worked to the front before boxing on for second in a higher-graded race here last week. That followed some good city form including a Menangle win last month. Draws on the back row but he is up to winning this if things go his way. ALWAYS THUNDER (3) led to score three starts back at Newcastle and gave a big sight again at his latest appearance at this circuit and distance, sticking on to be beaten 3.5 metres into third. Can push forward again from the same draw and has yet to miss a place in five attempts here, winning three of them. FIRE FOX NZ (7) should find this easier than recent attempts at Menangle and came from this barrier for second the last time he raced here last month. GRAYSON RED (1) has placed at his last two including a second from this barrier in a higher-graded race at Bathurst.

Solid run when a close second after a quick start, behind Perfect Stranger at Bathurst over 1730m in a NR up to 90 on January 21 at $23. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind Mr Teddy at Bathurst over 1730m in a NR up to 70 on February 4 at $6. Draws the pegs and is working towards a win.
