Central Park Bags Race 1

Monday 31st August 2026

Prize Money: $824

FRONT RISK (6) turned in a solid run last start over 277m at this track finishing 5th and beaten only 4 lengths (17.01). The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. ROCKET ROSE (5) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 1.75 lengths at this track in a handy 16.71 beating FRONT SHANI. Winner at her latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. STOPHERS TRICK (4) had trap 5 and was game in defeat when only 1.5 lengths from Autumn Mary in third (16.87) at this track. The form out of last race has been strong. Leading chance. FRONT SHANI (2) has top-three aspirations after placing last time.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at her latest appearance in a D1 at this track over 277m (16.85). Not to be underestimated.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just a head into second over 277m at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.

Finished third last start over 277m at this track behind Autumn Mary in a D1. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Solid performance after taking an early lead to score in a D1 by 1.75 len at this track over 277m (16.71). Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
