Gosford Race 4

Ladbrokes Lightning 5Th Grade Ht3 H

Prize Money: $2,310

JACK'S ROCKET (3) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive before that in his slick 18.22 win at Richmond over 320m. Hard to top on the time from two back. LITTLE TIME (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (18.05) last time in a NG at Richmond Straight. Has never missed the frame here at the trip from five starts. Shapes as one to consider. FASCINATE GEORGE (2) broke from a low draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only 2 lengths (23.27) behind Diva's Delight at The Gardens. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Well-placed to take this out. STAR ELISE (8) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to bounce back.

Latest effort finished 6th over 324m at Richmond Straight beaten 4 lengths (18.05) behind Tulsa King in a NG on December 19. Has performed below expectations at her last couple but is capable of far better.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by half a length in 22.40, beating Starry Ethics. Last start finished 4th on December 24 over 388m at this track behind Simply The Best beaten 12 lengths (23.07) in a Grade 5. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.

Missed the frame last start when a 5.5 lengths sixth (22.95) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at this track. Looks a strong place chance on best figures.
