Penrith Race 4 - Vale James Sydney Mason Oam (Jim)
LAST LEXUS (5) put the writing on the wall when he led and boxed on for second last start, beaten 4.2 metres at Newcastle. Draws wider but has recorded a win and a placing in two tries at this distance and should be reaching peak fitness fourth up. BOULDERS BEACH (1) drew wider and worked when racing parked but stuck on okay for fourth last start at Canberra. Should enjoy better favours from the ace draw. MAGIC AS ALWAYS (2) ended last prep with a maiden win at Wagga four-and-a-half months ago. Readied with two nice trials and draws well so is capable of a forward showing. CRUNCH IT (4) has claims off a string of placings at this venue last month.

Last start 4th (Fr6) over 1770m after showing early speed at Canberra was 2nd-1.2 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Hesourcelebrity (2:08.90) in 3yo on September 13 at $2.50. Before that, failed to finish when he ran at Albion Park on August 22 over 2138m. Should get every chance from this draw.

Resumes. Finished off last preparation recording on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a head as favourite (Fr6) at Riverina Paceway (2:06.40) beating Bettor Inthe Dark in 3yo on May 5 at $3 at the bell was 2nd-1.1m 2WNC. Finds a nice race to launch the campaign.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr5) over 1609m at Menangle, at the bell was 7th-11.99 beaten 14 m by La Familia (1:54.10) in 3yo+ on September 8 at $13. Before that was well back in the run when 8th (Fr7) over 1609m at Menangle beaten 23 m by The Queens Gambit (1:53.20) in 3yo+ on September 1 at $23. Draws for a better result.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Conciliate at Menangle over 1609m in a 3yo on July 21 at $15. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Wheres My Reason at Newcastle over 1609m in a 3yo on September 11 at $5. One of the primary contenders.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 9th (Fr1) over 1720m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 30 m by Blazing High (2:02.80) in 3yo on September 10 at $41. Two runs back 3rd (Fr1) over 1720m at this track, beaten 10 m by Major Austin (2:04.10) in 3yo on September 3 at $3.20. This may be too tough.

Last start 6th (Sr1) over 1720m at this track, beaten 25 m by Blazing High (2:02.80) in 3yo on September 10 at $41. At the run before was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr9) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 20 m by The Queens Gambit (1:53.20) in 3yo+ on September 1 at $31. Fitter so expecting a better run this time.
