Penrith Race 8 - Sinclair Ford Pace
STEEL STRIDE (6) made an encouraging return to racing when he came from the back row and was 3 metres away in third at this venue. Has won when second-up before so expect him to be improved. Has the ability to take care of this field. FINAL PROMISE (4) produced a strong effort at his latest appearance when successful at this circuit, getting home by 3 metres after leading. Draws a couple of spots wider but is a chance to make it two on the trot. LOOKIN GOOD MARGIE (3) enjoys a class drop off a Breeders Challenge semi-final at Menangle last time out. Went close from a similar barrier here prior so is better placed. ROCKET RALPH (7) draws for a trail and is in the mix after turning in a good effort last start when beaten less than 2m into third at this circuit and distance.

Continued his steady form from last campaign first-up. Returned to racing with a good run when 3rd (Sr1) over 1720m at this track, at the bell was 5th-7.98 beaten 3 m by Rockngrohl Dave (2:05.10) in 3yo on October 8 at $3.40. Sure to improve on that first up effort. Fitter and has winning claims.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Agatha Bloom at Menangle over 1609m in a 3yo+ on October 6 at $18. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Gimme A Reason at this track over 2125m on October 15 at $3.60. Rates highly. Heading the right way and is a player.
