Penrith Race 9

Penrith City Council Pace

Stake: $10,575

HEAVEN FAST (3) opened her career in pleasing fashion two weeks ago, finishing second and beaten 2.5 metres over 1720m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. That latest effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. CHARJO (4) resumes from a spell of 16 months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid second over 1730m at Bathurst. Sure to be right there at the finish. MISS ALOHA (2) is on the radar after her last-start fourth over 1609m at Newcastle six days ago. SO CAN EYE (7) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at Newcastle. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Last start was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind Blazing High at Newcastle over 1609m in a MAIDEN on July 25 at $14. Raced better the start before that with a game effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr6) over 1720m at this track, at the bell was 6th-10.56 beaten 4.5 m by Rock Asset (2:07.00) in MAIDEN on July 10 at $8.50. Winning claims.

First up. At the last run he game effort when 2nd (Fr3) over 1730m after showing early speed at Bathurst was 3rd-4m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 9 m by Flash Azarat (2:06.80) in 2yo No NR CG on March 27 2024 at $6. Encouraging run last time and with further progress can claim his maiden victory.
