Wentworth Park Race 3

Sunburnt Highway - 39 Wenty Wins

Prize Money: $9,750

BEFORE THE DAWN (1) has been hard to follow lately, running fifth (30.07) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Safe beginner and drawn well on the inside. Can turn form around here. MY CUPCAKE (7) has been hard to follow lately, running fifth (30.04) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. CUMBRIA CHRISSY (2) finished half a length away in second last start over 365m at Nowra but in a good 20.42. In form and looks a leading player again. WINSOME RAMBO (8) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Could manage only fifth last time but caught the eye the start prior when she clocked a slick 29.89 over 520m finishing second at this track. Has the ability and can find winning form.

Comments

Well supported last time and gave a sight after a fast early split but could manage only the minor money, finishing a half a length second (20.42) over 365m at Nowra. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card at the latest appearance. Worth following up.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won comfortably by 4 lengths at Bulli (29.02) beating Unleash Brady in a Grade 4/5 on September 22. Risky starter, happy enough to avoid.

Was out of placings last time (30.32) at this track in a NG, finishing seventh and beaten 11 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and six minors. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Surprised two starts back at The Gardens to win by a neck in 29.75, beating Repeat The Same. Last start finished last over 520m at this track beaten 11 lengths (30.51) behind Shaq Keeping in a NG on October 3. Happy enough to avoid.
