Penola Race 7 - Digiorgio Coonawarra Penola Cup (Bm78)
TEXAN WINDSTORM (6) doesn't know how to run a bad race and is often overlooked by the market. Will put himself right on speed again from the good draw and will be in for the fight when they quicken. Leading player. ANNIHILATE (7) will appreciate the anticipated tempo and will be looking to pounce on them late. Don't overlook. VAN ROY (3) is a Country Cups specialist and finds another to take home with him, though the mile may prove a touch sharp for him. FEARGAL (8) has been knocking on the door for a long time and is sure to give another bold sight in front. Will take some reeling in if left alone in front.

Second run back. First-up after five months 5th of 8 at Morphettville Parks Bm86 on March 21 over 1400m, 3 len behind Pudding with 59kg at $31. Previously second-up 4th of 9 at Morphettville Bm76 on May 31 over 2042m, slow going 2 len behind Beach Pad carrying 62kg at $13. Rates highly and can do much better this time.

Comes off a 58 day let-up. At the latest run ran last of 8 at Colac Colac Cup on February 6 over 2000m, 11 len behind Active Duty carrying 54kg at $13. The run before that won by a nose at Mt Gambier Summer Cup January 25 over 2062m defeating Khor carrying 54kg at $3. Right in the mix.

Last start 5th of 9 at Morphettville Parks Bm72 on March 21 over 1400m, 2 len behind Jilladora carrying 58kg at $10. Before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Morphettville Parks Bm78 on February 28 over 1400m, slow going 3.5 len behind Placo carrying 54.5kg at $10. Certainly worth another chance.

Most recently 4th of 9 at Morphettville Parks Bm72 on March 21 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Jilladora with 57kg at $7.50. Before that 7th of 12 at Morphettville Parks 0-68 on March 14 over 1550m, 3 len behind Headphones with 59.5kg at $3.80. Not far from the winner last time and is worth including.

The run before that led but faded 3rd of 8 at Hanging Rock Hang Rock Cup on January 26 over 1800m, 2.5 len behind His Finest Hour with 54kg at $2.70.

At the latest run led but faded 3rd of 11 at Mt Gambier Bm56 on March 22 over 1550m, 1.5 len behind Elliotto carrying 59.5kg at $8.50. Before that won by 1.4 len at Kilcoy F&M Bm55 February 18 over 1200m in soft going defeating Happy Wins carrying 60.5kg at $2.90. Unlikely to threaten.
