Penrith Race 5

Col Evans Memorial

Stake: $10,673

MERRYWOOD PAUL (4) was solid last week when he raced parked and stuck on for fifth in a higher-graded race at Menangle. Had put together a string of top-two finishes before that including a win two back so must rate highly returning to this circuit. HEAVENLY BELLE (3) has ground to make up on MERRYWOOD PAUL on their last clash but she owns a good record at this distance and draws well so is worth another chance. CHARLIES ACE (1) was far from disgraced when midfield in the city last start and she did a good job to overcome a second row draw and win here two back. This is stronger but she is aided by the ace draw. FIRST CLASS (2) draws well and is a player off a win two back at Newcastle.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr5) over 1609m after showing early speed at Menangle beaten 18 m by Catseye Beach (1:52.50) in 4yo+ 0W/20K Stakes on September 28 at $41. Showed ability the race before when he won by 2 m as favourite (Fr1) at this track (2:03.90) beating Constantina in NR up to 80 on September 19 at $2 at the bell was 5th-8.19. Looks hard to beat.
