Penrith Race 5 - Fisho's Raffles @ Club Paceway Every Friday Night 2yo Pace
STEELY ZAC (8) has been a model of consistency of late and deserved his win last start, scoring by 2.75 metres over 1609m at Newcastle. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go his way at some stage. It doesn't get any easier but he is capable of another big performance. LOCHINVAR COOGEE (4) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 6 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at Newcastle. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. MCWEAPON (3) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at Newcastle last time out. Has each-way claims. SOHO CRUZA (2) is worth some thought based on his third over 1609m at Newcastle two runs ago.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 2nd (Fr2) over 1720m at this track, at the bell was 2nd-2.97 beaten a head by Jay Bee Lou (2:07.40) on July 30 at $61. Before that beaten 30 metres, sixth at this track over 1720m on July 16. This looks a far sterner test.

Last start 8th (Fr2) over 1609m after showing early pace at Menangle beaten 30 m by Blissful Lover (1:53.30) in 2yo on July 25 at $26. At the run before solid effort when 3rd (Sr1) over 1609m at Newcastle, at the bell was 3rd-4.66 beaten 4 m by Kiss Before Twelve (1:57.50) in 2yo on July 13 at $3.10. Better than the last run suggests; set to make amends.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr8) over 1609m at Newcastle, at the bell was 10th-23.11 beaten 7 m by Warrawee Way Back (1:57.00) in 2yo on July 24 at $31. Before that, 6th (Fr3) over 1609m at Menangle beaten 22 m by Tiny Prancer (1:56.00) in 2yo on July 14 at $10. Doesn't need to improve a great deal to take this out.

Solid performance when beaten by 2 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Warrawee Way Back at Newcastle over 1609m in a 2yo on July 24 at $3.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Gordons Ghost at Newcastle over 1609m in a 2yo on July 31 at $9.50. Overdue and should run well again.

Two-year-old filly lining up for the second time. At debut game effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at Newcastle was 6th-10.37 at the bell, beaten a nose by Spunkys A Cougar (1:58.00) in 2yo on July 27 at $10. Plenty of scope for improvement.

Well beaten last start by Warrawee Way Back, a rival who he faces again; when 24 metres ninth at Newcastle over 1609m in a 2yo race on July 24. Others appear better placed.

Racing in great heart. Last start won by 2.75 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr7) at Newcastle (1:58.20) beating Mullum Sizzle in 2yo on July 27 at $1.90 at the bell was leading 3.4. Has upside and is among the winning chances.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following July 14 run. Last start won by 2 m when quickly away, (Fr1) at Newcastle (1:57.00) beating Lochinvar Coogee in 2yo on July 24 at $31 at the bell was 2nd-3.16. This race will be harder than that win. Might find this beyond him.
