Wentworth Park Race 9

Ladbrokes National Derby Heat 4 H

Prize Money: $10,500

ZIG ZAG MAN (5) scored by 7 lengths last time (29.49) in a Grade 5 over 520m at this track. Looks a key chance on best form. WRAPS (1) scored (29.29) last time out at Gosford adding to an already respectable career. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Significant danger. ZIPPING GRINCH (2) racing well without winning, placing at his last four runs. Last time finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on December 26 over 520m at this track behind Reece Unleashed beaten 2.5 lengths (30.40). Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Hard to beat again. PAW OSWALD (6) recorded a 4.5 lengths win (29.35) in a Grade 5 last time at Sandown. Already a winner from this draw.

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but had to settle for the minor money, finishing a half a length second (30.39) over 520m at this track. Has ability and worth including.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won comfortably by 4.5 lengths at Goulburn (25.03) beating Bobby Bonkers in a Grade 5 on December 27. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Caught the eye with a fast early split last time and setting up a 4.5 lengths win at Sandown over 515m in 29.35, making it two wins on end. Must be a winning chance again.
