Penrith Race 8 - Major Oak Theatre Restaurant Returns March 28 Pace
MISS BLUE STORK (5) kicked off for the new yard in style when overcoming an early break to cruise home by more than 23 metres at Newcastle on Monday. That was her first outing for two months so it should have improved her. Up in grade but only needs to get things right to be in contention again. Former Kiwi JETASI NZ (10) made an encouraging start in Australia when she finished second last week at this venue, missing by just a head. Tougher draw but is open to improvement. Leading hope. FORESIGHT (4) led from this draw last start and while she couldn't see that out she is better placed at this level. JANELLE MAY (7) didn't have a lot go to plan last week and was quite consistent prior so could be worth another chance.
