Penrith Race 8 - Major Oak Theatre Restaurant June 27 Pace
BLISSES BEST (10) resumes from a spell of five months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid second over 1609m at Newcastle. May just need a bit of luck at some point from this difficult draw. Well-placed to take this out. MISTER MANAGER (7) ran fifth last start at this track over 1720m, beaten 8 metres. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. GIMME A REASON (1) was unplaced two starts ago then things went amiss last start when he broke and finished 13 metres away in seventh over 2300m at Menangle. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Must get things right but if he does a big run is on the cards. ARGENT PEAK (4) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1720m at this track last time out after having raced in behind the leader at the bell.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 7th (Sr2) over 2300m at Menangle was 9th-20.3 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Ultimate Empire (2:46.60) on May 14 at $9. The start before 5th (Fr6) over 1720m at this track was 8th-14.93 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Flo Ryda (2:05.60) on May 7 at $23. Can improve sharply without surprising.

Resuming after a spell of five months. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into second after a quick start, behind Always Thunder at Newcastle over 1609m on January 3 at $6.50. Expected to feature with even luck from the draw.
