Penrith Race 1

Christmas In July Race Night Thursday 23 Book Now Pace

Prize Money: $6,936

RIO DE JANEIRO BLUE NZ (6) looks close to a win having come from a wider barrier for third at Menangle before drawing on the back row and making up plenty of ground for second at his latest appearance at this venue. If things go his way he could break through. GIMME A REASON (5) did a good job to come from wide on the back row and finish third last week, 2.6m behind Rio De Janeiro Blue. Returns to the front line so could turn the tables. MY ULTIMATE BUDDHA (7) is a newcomer to the Josh Farrugia yard from Queensland where he has been tackling higher-graded races. Won the only time he raced here and draws for a trail so can measure up. OURTREACHEROUS REIGN NZ (8) has been racing well from this row including a last-start second and a win last month. Respect.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Blazing High at Menangle over 1609m on June 30 at $51. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Grey Cadillac at this track over 2125m on July 9 at $7. Can be right in the thick of things.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 8th (Fr1) over 1660m at Albion Park beaten 20 m by Maxo Mighty (1:54.70) in 3yo+ on June 19 at $51. The run previous was well back in the run when 8th (Fr3) over 2040m after being wide early at Redcliffe beaten 17 m by Our Lucy Lou (2:30.30) in 3yo+ on June 10 at $4. Can measure up.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Soho Washington at this track over 2125m on July 2 at $31. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Bara Riley at this track over 1720m on July 9 at $7. Can make his presence felt.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Last start game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 2125m at this track, at the bell was 4th-11 beaten 19 m by Soho Washington (2:36.40) on July 2 at $41. Two runs back won by 2.5 m after showing early speed, (Fr4) at this track (2:05.40) beating Til Heavens Rockn in on June 18 at $11 at the bell was leading 3.84. Decent effort last start. Can go well again.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr6) over 1720m at this track was 9th-14.76 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Bev The Goat (2:04.60) in M on July 9 at $26. Showed ability the race before when she won by 1.2 m (Fr1) at Menangle (1:52.90) beating Raging Whitebait in on June 30 at $71 at the bell was 3rd-5.99. Better than the last result suggests.
