Wentworth Park Race 5

Happy Birthday Trish Chaker

Stake: $6,366

SHAQ KEEPING (1) produced a modest effort most recently when seventh at Richmond over 520m behind Supermaxi (30.51) in a Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. Should bounce back. FASCINATE KATH (7) scored well last start as odds-on favourite by a neck at The Gardens in a handy 30.02 beating Zipping Severus. Outside box to overcome but has a good record over this journey. Has never missed the frame from four starts from this draw, including a win. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. DOUBLE TWO (8) recorded her best time this course and distance latest, finishing a 5.5 lengths second behind Ashby Flash in 30.16. Will be in this for a long way. LATEST TWIST (6) is not to be discarded.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 7th on August 1 over 520m at Richmond behind Supermaxi beaten 8 lengths (30.51) in a Grade 5. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Has finished seventh at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 10 lengths behind Just Ken over 520m. Hard to recommend this time.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by one length at Dapto (30.12) beating Hurricane Haley in a Grade 5 on July 24. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Ordinary effort last start when he got back too far over 515m at Gosford. Prior to that won easily by 7 lengths at Gosford (29.51) beating White High in a Grade 5 on June 24. Well below best last time but expecting sharp improvement.
