Angle Park Race 4

2026 Brian Johnstone H Cta Division3

Prize Money: $5,300

ZINFANDEL STAR (1) was never in contention last time at this track, but prior to that won by one length at this track (30.55) beating Halfeti in a Grade 6 on October 22. Comes through a solid form race last start. Has ability and looks hard to stop. ATTICA BLUE (4) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (25.77) at Shepparton. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Bold showing expected. MESSINA MISS (6) has some solid form under her belt and proved too classy last time to win by 9 lengths at this track in a handy 34.53 beating Zinfandel Buck. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in three starts. Can make it back-to-back wins. LAVENDER LANE (2) can sneak into the finish.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 530m. Last start finished last in a Grade 6 on October 29 over 530m at this track behind Lockerbie beaten 12 lengths (31.36). Expected to bounce right back. Hard to beat.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 530m in 30.84 last start, beating Vintage Flair. Solid chance with even luck.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a 1.75 lengths second over 450m Shepparton in 25.77. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.
