Wentworth Park Race 4

Ladbrokes Million Dollar Chase Semi Final 2 H

Prize Money: $10,600

SHAQ KEEPING (1) comes off a (29.71) win last time, scoring by 2.25 lengths in a NG over 520m at this track. Has already won five times from this draw. Looks well placed and should feature. FLAMING SMOOTH (8) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 7 lengths at this track in a handy 29.47 beating CLASSIC ETHICS. In great form and can continue his winning ways. HE'S A PEARL (3) goes very well this course and distance starting 19 times for eight wins and two minors. Recorded a 1.5 lengths win (25.58) in a NG last time at Temora. Looks suited here and can measure up. MY PHARAOH (2) is a last-start placegetter at this track and distance - in the mix again.

Good effort to score just six days ago over 520m at this track by 2.25 lengths in a NG. Looks the one to beat again.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 5 length second but did clock a slick 29.79 over the 520m trip. Should be in this for a long way.

Missed the frame last start when fourth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning three on end before placing two back. Has ability but this tough and looks a place chance at best.

Comments

Was a most impressive winner after running them ragged to make it back-to-back wins at this track over 520m (29.47). Has the ability and looks a key chance again.
