Penrith Race 4

Penrith Thursday Markets Pace

Prize Money: $9,792

SMOKESCREEN (1) is a newcomer to the Troy Williams yard from Tasmania. His form may not leap off the page but he has been coming from wider barriers so the ace draw could see him measure up. MISTER MANAGER (5) was far from disgraced when he came from a similar barrier for fifth at Menangle on Saturday. Has won at this venue before and should relish the class drop. ADMIRABLE NZ (9) overcame a similar draw to this for a last-start win by 2.2 metres at this circuit and distance. Could do it again. TIL HEAVENS ROCKN NZ (6) draws wider but is worth thought after leading for a last-start win by nearly 10 metres at this venue and distance.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr4) over 1720m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track was 9th-21.4 at the bell, beaten 16 m by Ed Mendes (2:05.20) in NR up to 45 on January 22 at $11. At the start before 7th (Sr2) over 1720m at this track, beaten 25 m by Til Heavens Rockn (2:05.60) in NR up to 52 on January 15 at $31. Can do much better from a favourable draw.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 5th (Fr6) over 1609m after showing early speed at Menangle beaten 13 m by Yukon Be Serious (1:52.10) in 4-020yo+ 0W/20K Stakes on January 24 at $3.90. The run prior was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 40 m by Captains Mistress (1:50.00) in 4-120yo+ 1W/20K Stakes on January 10 at $61. Certainly up to this and he is a major player.

Well-beaten 20 days ago at Newcastle over 2030m, before that was well back in the run when 6th (Fr4) over 1780m at Redcliffe, at the bell was 8th-14m 2WWC beaten 11 m by Bettors Moon (2:08.10) in NR 53 to 58 on November 28 at $9. Might need easier.

Last start won to make any headway until the straight; raced back and made ground from the turn; won by 2.25 m (Sr4) at this track (2:03.30) beating Ideal Redemption in NR up to 55 on January 22 at $26 at the bell was 9th-16.6. Tricky draw but he is in form.
