Wentworth Park Race 5

New Sensation Final Saturday

Prize Money: $5,840

RONALDO VELLA (1) was a winner two back and strongly fancied last time but could only manage fourth (30.96) at this track. Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and a minor placing from four starts. Can discover winning form. TEXAS BANDIT (3) found the frame for the second consecutive time when narrowly beaten into second last time out (29.94) over 520m at this track. Expected to do much better this time. ZIPPING BERKELEY (2) comes off a (29.69) win last time, scoring by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 5 over 515m at Gosford. Has already won three times from this draw. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. WONDER I DO (8) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Richmond over 520m. Last start finished 4th on March 7 over 520m at this track behind Child's Play beaten 18 lengths (30.96) in a Grade 5. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by 1.75 lengths at Gosford (29.69) beating Mr. Bombastic in a Grade 5 on March 10. Looks a solid hope.

Comments

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 4 length second (29.94) over 520m at this track and making it two placings on end. Has an outstanding 29.64 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Modest effort last time out when fifth over 520m at this track. Better off looking to others.

Strong performance to win by 1.3 lengths at this track over 520m (30.15) beating Tarawi Banjo in Grade 5 on March 12. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Hit the frame again last time when third (29.99) at Nowra, making it four minor placings in a row. Jumps from a wide draw. Looks tested in this line-up.
