Penrith Race 5 - Vintage Fm 3yo Pace
CHARLENES DELIGHT (2) put the writing on the wall with a strong effort at this circuit and distance last week, coming from this barrier for second and just a nose from the winner. Big chance to go one better. CAPPY (8) opened her career in the best possible manner two-and-a-half weeks ago, scoring by 1.2 metres at Newcastle. Drawn on the back row this time but she has upside so could go through her grades. LAST LEXUS (7) draws for a trail and could be dangerous if he gets the gaps while NOTHING FINER (4) looks better placed in this line-up.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.2 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Cappy at Newcastle over 2030m in a 3yo on September 14 at $5. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after a quick start, behind On Dasher at this track over 1720m on September 24 at $7.50. Still a maiden as been racing well and gets the ace draw.

Good performance when beaten by 5.5 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind Ultimate Crusader at Newcastle over 2030m on August 31 at $15. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Elly Lou at this track over 1720m on September 24 at $2.90. Nice effort last time. Close to a win and gets her chance from a good draw.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start surrendered the lead and finished 3rd (Fr3) over 1720m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was 3rd-4.84 beaten 18 m by Agentofgoodintent (2:04.30) in 3yo on September 24 at $101. Before that beaten 50 metres, ninth at Menangle over 1609m 3yo on September 15. Not as keen on her chances in this line-up.
