Penrith Race 8 - Major Oak Theatre Restaurant Pace
DOWN WARD DOG (7) came from wider on this row here last week and worked home well to finish only 2 metres from the winner. Won easily the previous time he raced at this venue. Draws for a trail and is a primary contender if he gets the gaps. TIL HEAVENS ROCKN NZ (9) goes back to the second line but is building towards a win having placed in two of his last three attempts at this circuit and distance, last time leading and fighting on well to be beaten only a neck. FLO RYDA NZ (10) draws wide on the back row but is going well with a series of top-two finishes including an easy Bankstown win and a second from a similar barrier to this. MISTER MANAGER (3) hasn't been far rom the placegetters of late and draws well.
