Penrith Race 7 - John Holland Construction Pace
A VAPAR STORM (1) is on a quick back-up after coming from a very wide barrier to place at Newcastle on Monday. Rises a little in grade but should get every chance from the ace draw. Primary contender. DESIDERIO (9) is going well and looks close to a win having come from this row to place in his last two appearances at this circuit. With even luck he could break through. RAINBOW TITAN (5) beat A VAPAR STORM home in winning by 8 metres at Newcastle on Monday. Can push forward again from this draw. Major player. CROWN MOJO (2) eases back in grade on recent attempts and has drawn to advantage.
