Penrith Race 8 - Download The Tab App Today Pace
FORTUNA STRIDE (10) hasn't performed to market expectations in her two outings off a spell but should be approaching peak fitness. Tricky draw but her form last campaign was good and this looks a suitable assignment. One more chance. LOUS PROMISE (1) hasn't featured in his two outings off a long spell they have been from tougher barriers. Building in fitness and should enjoy an economical run from this draw so expect big improvement. COULDNT CATCH HIM (7) was held up from this barrier last time so may be relying on luck but he was an easy Goulburn winner two back and owns a good record at this distance. ROCKET RALPH (4) steps up out of maiden grade but will be fitter for his resuming second from the back row and is lightly raced so has some upside.

Having his second run back from a spell. Solid effort when 2nd (Sr2) over 2125m at this track, at the bell was 4th-5.25 beaten 6 m by Between Decks (2:37.80) in MAIDEN on April 30 at $3.20. Will improve with that run under the belt. Fitter so could be competitive.

Showed ability the outing before when he posted a big 18 m win as favourite (Fr5) at Goulburn (2:04.10) beating Tried And Trusted in NR up to 45 on April 27 at $2 at the bell was leading 2.9. Best form should see him in the finish.
