Penrith Race 5

Fisho's Raffles @ Club Paceway Every Friday Pace

Prize Money: $9,792

ULTIMATE WEAPON NZ (1) is working towards a win and looks ready to strike after a strong effort last week when 1.1 metres from the winner in second at Menangle. Should have no excuses from the inside draw so can go one better. RUMOUR STRIDE (2) was first up for six months when she came from wider for sixth last start at Newcastle. Showed ability last time in, winning the only time she raced here. Fitter and draws well so looks dangerous. NOTHINGBUTWAVES (7) is going well having placed in three of four starts since a win here, two of those coming from draws on this row. ADMIRABLE NZ (6) draws wide but looks close to a win having recorded a third successive placing when runner-up in the city on Tuesday.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Happy Too Ya at this track over 2125m in a NR up to 57 on May 7 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.1 m finishing second behind Startin To Gogh at Menangle over 1609m in a NR up to 58 on May 14 at $5.50. Has the inside draw and is a winning hope.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr7) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 21 m by You Are My Wish (1:53.70) in NR up to 59 on May 12 at $26. Before that 10th (Fr4) over 2125m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 40 m by Happy Too Ya (2:34.40) in NR up to 57 on May 7 at $26. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

Solid run when a close second after a quick start, behind You Are My Wish at Menangle over 1609m in a NR up to 59 on May 12 at $4.40. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Bettorlightem Up at Menangle over 1609m in a NR up to 64 on May 19 at $23. Go well again.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr3) over 2300m at Menangle, at the bell was 4th-6.61 beaten 14 m by Happy Too Ya (2:47.00) in NR up to 63 on May 14 at $41. Showed ability the run before when he won by a head when quickly away, (Fr2) at this track (2:05.60) beating Ideal Redemption in NR up to 52 on May 7 at $6.50 at the bell was leading 3.56. Among the exotic chances.
