Penrith Race 5 - Tab Venue Mode Pace
FOR ALWAYS ARDEN NZ (1) has had a month off since breaking in the G3 Golden Guitar Final but led from wider than this to win a heat of that series prior. Has recorded a win and placing from two attempts at this circuit and distance and possesses the speed to take full advantage of the ace draw. MR TEDDY NZ (9) turned in a strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to be beaten less then 2m into second at Menangle. No favours expected from this draw but came from a wide barrier for a Bathurst win three back. Player with even luck. OBADIAH DRAGON NZ (6) came from the back row to place in a higher-graded race here a week ago. Had won two of his previous three starts so must be respected. BABY YOUR THE ONE (7) draws for a trail and could be dangerous if she gets the gaps.

Last start was well beaten into tenth behind Exclusive Hustler at Tamworth over 1980m in a G3 NR 60 to 75 on January 23 at $8.50. Raced better the start before that where he posted a big 4 m win after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Tamworth (2:26.10) beating Lullaby in NR 60 to 75 on January 16 at $5.50. Draws the pegs and should get his chance from there.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing sixth after being driven well back, behind Maxy Wants To Play at Mildura over 2190m in a NR 65 or better on January 23 at $51. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.2 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Smokescreen at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 63 on February 5 at $2.60. Among the chances.

Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Lochinvar Jag at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 90 on February 19 at $10. Could be there at the business end.
