Penrith Race 8 - Melbourne Cup Lunch @ Penrith Paceway Nov 3 Book Now Pace
ROCKETON (2) drew on the back row last start so there was merit in his effort for fourth. Much better served by this barrier having come from there for a win at this circuit and distance prior. Big chance. BRONSKI ROYAL (9) made a winning start for the Farrugia stable last week, taking advantage of the ace draw to lead throughout at this circuit and distance. Tougher barrier but with even luck he could go on with it. KING COREY (4) is in form with a couple of seconds recently, one from a wide barrier at Goulburn and the latest from the back line here. Could break through. GREY CADILLAC (7) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance here.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind See Me No More at Goulburn over 1710m on September 28 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Bronski Royal at this track over 1720m on October 1 at $15. Going along well. Major player.
