Penrith Race 2 - Sky Racing Active 3Yo Pace
MARRANZANO (9) returns to Rickie Alchin after campaigning in Queensland at the end of his juvenile season. Has not raced for four months but looks forward enough after a close second in a Menangle trial. Draws on the back row but won the only time he attempted this circuit and distance. A BUCK TEN (10) enjoys a big class drop off a NSW Derby heat last time out at Menangle. Hard to know where he gets to from this draw but he goes well at this circuit and distance, recording a win and two placings from three attempts. BILLS SWAN SONG (8) toughed out a last-start win by a head at Dubbo, giving him two wins and two placings from his last four starts. Draws on the back row but won the last time he started from there. KELLYS COLOURS (5) added to a solid record at this circuit and distance when third from this barrier last week.

Three-year-old gelding facing the starter for the second time. At debut 2nd (Fr1) over 1740m at Bankstown, at the bell was 3rd-4.4 beaten 9 m by Draxon (2:12.70) in 3yo MAIDEN on March 16 at $10. Open to improvement but draws wider and this is stronger.

In good form recently. Last start won by a head as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at Dubbo (2:37.70) beating Summer Delight in 2 WINs on March 15 at $1.80 at the bell was leading 2.3. Hard to knock recent form and should be in the finish again.

Resuming after four months off the scene. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into sixth behind Pure Grunt at Albion Park over 1660m in a 2yo No NR CG on November 21 at $61. Trialled well and won his lone attempt at this circuit and distance so could make a winning return.
