Penrith Race 1 - Stardust Circus @ Penrith Showground From May 1 Pace
TIME TO DANCE NZ (1) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when fourth in a higher-graded race at Goulburn. Likely to get all the favours from the inside draw. UPSTREAM (4) turned in a much better effort last start when he came from the back row to go under narrowly when third at this venue. First try at this longer distance but suited returning to the front line. HELENS BOY (2) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this venue. Genuine threat aided by a good draw. MAC THUNDER (3) can be competitive from a favourable draw.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing sixth after being driven well back, behind Tiger Eupheme at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 48 on April 16 at $41. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Artistic Scott at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 52 on April 23 at $21. Big chance from a good draw.

12-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. 3rd (Fr5) over 2125m at this track was leading by 0.27 at the bell, beaten 3 m by Hot Cruise Control (2:37.80) in NR up to 47 on April 23 at $26. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into eighth behind Tigerlicious at this track over 2125m in a NR up to 47 on April 9 at $13. Not easy from this draw.
