Wentworth Park Race 9

Ladbrokes Mdc City Qualifier 6

Prize Money: $10,600

POUND KEEPING (1) is a well performed dog who recorded her 12th career win last time out at this track (29.48). Strike rate this course and distance strong having won eight of 13 tries. Has won three of four starts from this draw. Ideally placed to take this out. REPEAT THE SAME (2) is a promising dog in the frame at nine of 23 starts including seven wins and was in the minors again latest (29.77) over 515m at The Gardens. Performs well off this draw. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. MEPUNGA ZIRCON (6) has recorded back to back wins, the quickest two back at Geelong in 25.38. Sure to measure up. CLEO'S STAR (5) comes off a (29.89) win last time, scoring by 3 lengths in a Free For All over 525m at The Meadows. Has already won three times from this draw.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest when second (24.79) over 440m at Goulburn. Awkward draw to overcome. Looks to have the job ahead.

Comments

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at her last couple, most recently over 525m at The Meadows in a handy 29.89 beating Point Break. In a purple patch of form and likely to run well again.
