Penrith Race 3 - Major Oak Theatre Restaurant @ Club Paceway Aug 15 Pace
MELFIELD SORYT (9) has recorded two wins and three minor placings from the past five starts. Was again in sparkling form last start when she scored over 2260m at Bathurst, getting home by a nose. Will need an ounce of luck to slot in from this tricky draw. Meets some better types this time but another win is on the cards. FLO RYDA NZ (2) found a spot near the tail of the field off the second line and couldn't come into contention when ninth last start over 1720m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this better draw. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running a much better race. POLLY PUT KETTLEON (8) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1720m at this track last time out. Each-way chance. NOTHINGBUTWAVES (3) disappointed last time when eighth over 1720m at this track. Can bounce back to top-three form.

Didn't do much last time out, broke in score up and was out of position at the start 7th (Sr2) over 2125m at this track, at the bell was 5th-8.9 beaten 14 m by Smokescreen (2:35.20) on July 30 at $18. Before that was well back in the run when 8th (Fr6) over 1720m at this track was 9th-15.9 at the bell, beaten 9 m by My Ultimate Buddha (2:04.40) on July 23 at $26. Must do a lot more.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 9th (Sr4) over 1720m at this track, at the bell was 10th-17.91 beaten 11 m by Charlies Ace (2:05.80) on July 23 at $81. The run previous 9th (Fr1) over 1720m after showing early speed at this track was leading by 2.47 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Okay Gringo (2:05.30) on July 16 at $7. Better than the last run so worth another chance.
