Penrith Race 6 - Major Oak Theatre Restaurant July 18 Pace
BROOKESSMARTDANCER (1) looks ready to win having been in the placings in both appearances at this venue so far this campaign. Came from the back row to miss narrowly last week. Race fit now and the ace draw gives him every chance to strike. BETWEEN DECKS (4) is another that produced a good effort from the second line at his latest appearance, clocking in third at Newcastle. Came from a similar draw to win here earlier in the campaign. Major player. SPARKLA (7) has to come into calculations on the back of some consistent form, adding to a string of top-four results when third here last week. SIR KNIGHT (8) draws on the back row but deserves respect off a last-start win by 3.4 metres at Newcastle.
