Wentworth Park Race 1

The Garry Hall Chase

Prize Money: $10,900

MEPUNGA LARA (1) is progressing well scoring last time out (41.75) at Cannington and bringing up her 16th career win. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and a minor placing from four starts. The hardest to beat again. POWER SQUEEZE (3) turned heads when posting a blistering 41.79 over 720m at this track three back then has hit the frame in both runs since. Must include on winning run three back. SURIBACHI (8) posted a slick 42.06 winning over 720m at this track last start in a NG. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. DERRY (2) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 2nd over 715m at Cannington beaten 3.5 lengths (42.06) behind Texas President in a OPEN on March 14. Can't recommend in this field.
