Penrith Race 3 - Markets @ Penrith Showground Every Thursday Pace
CAPTAIN BLOOD (7) could be close to a win after finishing runner-up the last two times he has attempted this circuit and distance, beaten only 1.1 metres last week. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and if he gets the gaps he could break through. MY ULTIMATE SASSY (4) goes up in grade but there was plenty of merit in her performance here last week when she came from the back row and scored by 3.4 metres after racing parked. SHARK DANCER (9) comes right into contention after coming from this row and scoring last start by a neck at Newcastle. PLAY SOUTHERNLAND (1) was runner-up from this barrier two back and wasn't too far away at her most recent appearance.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Rocknroll Cowboy at this track over 2125m in a NR up to 53 on April 2 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.1 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Lochiel at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 52 on April 9 at $1.45. One of the primary contenders.

Didn't do much last time out, was well beaten after breaking at this track on April 9. Before that 5th (Fr6) over 1609m after showing early pace at Menangle was 2nd-2.7 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Myth You Already (1:53.40) in 3yo+ 2LTW so eligible 3yo+ NR55 on March 24 at $5.50.
