Penrith Race 6 - Major Oak Theatre Restaurant Pace
MISS BLUE STORK (8) was a beaten favourite in a higher-graded race last start but still continued her strong form in finishing third at Newcastle. That gave her five wins and two placings from her last seven starts. Draws on the back row but came from a similar barrier to win here three back and she is suited dropping in class. AMERICAN BOXER (3) produced a good effort at his latest appearance, finishing second over 1609m at Menangle. Came from the back row to place here last month and should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. HESHARLEY (9) has to come into calculations on the back of some consistent form, putting together a string of top-four finishes since coming from this row to win at this circuit and distance. DELIGHTFULLY SWEET (10) is first up for five months but has won when fresh before and was readied with two city trials, placing in the latest.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early pace at Menangle, at the bell was 2nd-5.82 beaten 3 m by Firestrike (1:53.30) in 3yo+ 2LTW so eligible 3yo+ NR55 on April 28 at $7.50. Rates highly. One of the key runners from a good draw.

Failed to impress last start; broke in score up and was out of position at the start 10th (Sr2) over 1720m at this track beaten 65 m by Happy Too Ya (2:03.90) in NR up to 48 on April 30 at $10. Showed ability the race before when she won by 2.25 m as favourite (Sr3) at this track (2:05.40) beating Sweet Sweet Tooth in NR up to 48 on April 16 at $2.90. Can be about the money.

Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Happy Too Ya at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 48 on April 30 at $8.50. Expect another strong showing.
