Wentworth Park Race 2

Ladbrokes Blackbook 1-4 Win Heat 1 H

Stake: $9,612

TAW GALAXY (2) is struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (30.09) at this track over 520m. Winning claims. AMAZING STORY (5) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (30.47) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Solid beginner who can clear the tricky draw. Likely to play a prominent role. RUGGED ETHICS (1) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (30.78) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from five starts. Has ability and is one of the better chances. STAPLETON (8) was out of placings last time (31.09) at Wagga in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths. Has already won out of this draw.

Had been in consistent form with four minors on end before missing the frame last start when fifth (31.09) at Wagga. Tough draw to overcome and needs to bounce back.
