Wentworth Park Race 4

National Futurity Heat 4 H

Prize Money: $10,500

JOANNE (4) has a strong overall record having eight wins and seven places from 21 starts but was out of the money last time when sixth (29.74) over 515m at Gosford. Has a strong winning record here. Expected to feature in the finish. BEFORE THE DAWN (8) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (23.30) last time in a Grade 4/5 at Richmond. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from five attempts. Has ability and can atone. SECRET BANDIT (6) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by a nose at this track in a handy 29.97 beating Angelo. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Has definite claims. COOL DISGUISE (7) profiles nicely over this trip.

Form has tapered off a little since recording maiden win three back at Temora. Placed two back then finished a 11 length seventh (26.68) at Temora. Others rate better this time.

Strong performance showing plenty of speed to score by 2.25 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at Nowra, clocking a brilliant 29.66 for the 520m trip. Harder here but will be in this for a long way.

Ordinary effort last start when she got back too far over 515m at Gosford. Prior to that won by 2.5 lengths at this track (29.53) beating Paw Oswald in a NG on December 20. Yet to be beaten in two starts out of this box. Sure to go well.

Caught the eye with a fast early split and setting up a nose win at this track over 520m in 29.97. Expected to run well again.

Missed the frame last start when seventh but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Better than last run and looks an each way chance.
