Penrith Race 8 - Tom "Pa" Garland Memorial
TOMMYS LUCK (1) has been racing at Menangle and producing some good efforts including a nose second from a much wider barrier three back. Gets the ace draw so can break through with his A-game. NEED FOUR SPEED (2) boxed on okay when fourth last start at this circuit and distance. Aided by another good draw and could be right in the finish in this suitable assignment. RACING WRITER (5) has been solid in finishing midfield in his last two outings at Wagga and won over this distance the only time he raced here. COULDNT CATCH HIM (8) owns a good record at this distance so can be competitive with even luck from the second line.

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Fr1) over 2125m after showing early pace at this track beaten 25 m by Major Bye (2:37.90) on July 9 at $9. Showed ability the race before when he won by a nose as favourite when driven back in the field, when quickly away, (Fr6) held up early, at Newcastle (1:55.50) beating Musicstar in on June 29 at $2.30 at the bell was leading 2.09. Capable of more than he has shown recently. May bounce back.
