Penrith Race 8 - Penrith Highland Festival @ Penrith Showground Oct 3 Pace
HESHARLEY (10) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 8 metres from the winner in third over 1720m at this track. No favours expected from this draw, but still good enough to take out a race like this. ULTIMATE EQUUS (8) was in the money at this track two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over 2125m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go his way at some stage. Meets a comparable field and he is capable of another bold performance. JILLIBY TOMCAT (7) is the next best after finishing third over 1720m at this track last time out. NEED FOUR SPEED (5) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1720m at this track last time out.

At his previous start surrendered the lead and finished 5th (Fr2) over 2030m after showing early speed at Newcastle beaten 15 m by My Kgari (2:30.10) on July 31 at $101. This looks a nice assignment so watch for a better run.
