Wentworth Park Race 6

Mark Hughes Foundation

Prize Money: $9,750

WINSOME JOSIE (2) drew a squeeze box and was game in defeat when a close second, 1.75 lengths from the winner Fearless Bandit (29.90) at this track. Has a strong record out of this box with five wins and a minor placing from eight starts. One of the leading chances. BEFORE THE DAWN (1) produced a modest effort most recently when seventh at Q Parklands over 600m behind Kingsbrae Brett (35.19) in a Grade 5/6. Was in the money the start prior. Can figure in the finish. BABY FACE BANDIT (4) hit the frame last time at this track but just a few starts ago ran blistering time when scoring over 520m at this track in 29.69. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. BACK TOMORROW (6) cannot be ruled out.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 7th in a Grade 5/6 on August 2 over 600m at Q Parklands behind Kingsbrae Brett beaten 10 lengths (35.19). Placed two back at Q Parklands. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was a strong winner scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Grade 4/5 at Richmond. Rates a top chance if runs up to time two back.

Goes well at this track and trip. At the last start finished last on August 1 over 520m at this track behind West Rock Casey beaten 9 lengths (30.33) in a Grade 4/5. Forget the latest effort. Among the chances.

Flew the lids with a fast early split and led until late but gathered in when a neck second at this track over 520m in 29.72. Should be right in the finish.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (29.85) at this track over 520m. Has a superb 29.62 best time at this course and distance. Worth including.
