Penrith Race 3 - Mountain Men Drinking Stakes Pace
LA FAMILIA NZ (2) has overcome tougher barriers than this to win her two starts since switching from NZ, last time racing wide from a back row draw before finding the front and going on to score by more than 9m at this venue. She can take advantage of the good draw to deliver again. CRUNCHIE DIVA (10) didn't really fire last time in but she is much better than that having won four of five attempts here. Tough draw but she was readied with two trials and has won when fresh before. KATES VIRTUE (1) continues to race well having only once missed the top-three in her last six starts including a third from this barrier here last time. POLLY PUT KETTLEON (8) placed here last week and steps up to a distance where she has won twice before.

Improved last start with a good run when 3rd (Fr1) over 1720m at this track, at the bell was 4th-7.63 beaten 19 m by Bev The Goat (2:01.80) on September 17 at $18. Has a nice draw so can figure prominently again.

Brings the right form to the table. Came from midfield and won by 9 m as favourite (Sr4) overraced, at this track (2:04.40) beating Rainbowsend in on September 17 at $1.20 at the bell was leading 4.01. Two runs back posted a big 6 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr8) at Menangle (1:54.10) beating Hykeepmeposted in 3yo+ on September 8 at $1.55 at the bell was leading 3.53. Rates highly. Can maintain her perfect record in Australia.
