Penrith Race 1

First Light Horse Demo @ Penrith Show 2Yo Pace

Prize Money: $9,792

NATURALLY BETTOR (5) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 14 metres into eighth at Newcastle over 1609m. Big chance if anywhere near his best. SOHO CHARMER (8) is at the track for the first time. By Soho Tribeca and hails from the Michael Stanley stable. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Has strong trial form coming into this and is capable of taking this out. TENNESSEE KID (4) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1730m at Bathurst. Top-three candidate. MAJOR MAVERICK (6) is ready to improve after debuting with a modest tenth last time out over 1609m at Newcastle. Will be better for that experience.

Lines up again after a break of six months. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation at this course and distance when sixth at very long odds behind Marranzano. Will be better for the run.

Solid run when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Mydnight at Newcastle over 1609m in a 2yo NR up to 55 CG on August 15 at $10. Then a handy effort when third behind Uptown Chance at Bathurst over 1730m in a 2yo 2 WINs on August 20 at $9.50. One of the primary contenders.

Two-year-old colt facing the starter for the second time. At debut was well back in the run when 10th (Fr7) over 1609m at Newcastle, beaten 45 m by Grumpyshannon (1:55.90) in 0-1 WIN on August 19 at $9.50. Rates highly and can bounce back.

Last start 6th (Fr3) over 1609m at Menangle beaten 23 m by Hollywood Strip (1:51.20) in 2yo No NR on August 16 at $81. Two runs back posted a big 5 m win as favourite (Sr2) at this track (2:38.00) beating Im The Sniper in MAIDEN on August 7 at $2.50 at the bell was 2nd-4.57. Draws poorly and not keen on his chances in this line-up.
