Penrith Race 9 - Penrith Highland Festival @ Penrith Showground Oct 3 3yo Pace
SEASIDE DRIVE (6) is in good form with top-five finishes at her last five starts, most recently recording a third over 1609m at Menangle. Meets a comparable field and she can go right on with the job. ULTIMATE MARTHA (2) finished fourth last start, beaten 25 metres at Newcastle over 1609m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. CRUNCH IT (4) disappointed last time when eighth over 1609m at Menangle. Can turn things around. Include in combinations HEZA CASANOVA (5) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at Menangle. Can do a lot better so is worth considering.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 6th (Fr6) over 1730m at Bathurst, beaten 25 m by Heza Vincent (2:05.20) in 3yo on July 29 at $81. Before that 4th (Sr1) over 1720m at Young, at the bell was 5th-12.7 beaten 11 m by Who Is Alan (2:07.00) in 3yo on July 14 at $81. Hard to have on those efforts.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.2 m third behind Conciliate at Menangle over 1609m 3yo last start. Before that was beaten 1.1 metres second at this track over 1720m same class on July 16. Genuine threat.
