Ladbrokes Mates Mode Pots 2-4 Win

Prize Money: $3,110

LINKIN PARK (4) stalked the lead and fought on well to finish 2.5 lengths away in second (29.92) at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5 over 520m. Yet to taste defeat from two runs out of this box. Winning claims. ZIPPING ELIJAH (5) finished third (30.00) two back at Wentworth Park but out of the placings last time when 8th at Richmond. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings four times from five starts. Can measure up this time. ZIPPING KIRK (8) has a strong winning strike-rate over this journey with two wins and a placing from six tries. Below best last time at Richmond (30.26) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3.5 lengths sixth. Makes strong appeal on best. SECRET GETAWAY (1) is another with top-three prospects.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (23.27) over 401m at Richmond. Aided by the inside draw and is worth plenty of thought.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished sixth over 520m at this track, beaten 11 lengths (30.45) behind Right Said Ed in a Grade 5 on April 7. Others read better.

Finished in the placings last time but the run prior she was a strong winner scoring by 0.8 lengths in a Grade 5 at Wentworth Park. Rates a top chance if runs up to time two back.

Didn't make the placings last time at Richmond (30.61) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length eighth. Yet to win but has placed four times from this draw. Makes strong appeal.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in his races, Last start finished fifth over 520m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
