Poolwerx Richmond-Kurrajong

Stake: $3,239

QUEEN ERA (7) boasts a consistent overall record including 22 wins from 52 starts, but missed the frame latest when fifth (30.52) over 520m at Wentworth Park. Form at this distance is sound. Drawn out but with clear running expected to go close. MAYBE NEXT WEEK (5) lines up chasing another win after sizzling around this track over 320m in 18.08 on May 10. Top win latest and rates a key player again. BEFORE THE DAWN (2) could manage only a 1.75 lengths fourth last start over 520m at Wentworth Park but in a strong 29.78. Has the ability and can measure up. ZIPPING ADMIRAL (8) comes off a (22.56) win last time, scoring by 9 lengths in a Grade 4/5 over 401m at this track. Has already won three times from this draw.

Comments

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 1.75 lengths fourth (29.78) over 520m at Wentworth Park. Solid showing expected.

Missed the frame latest (30.52) when fifth over 520m at Wentworth Park in a Grade 4/5. Has two successes and three minors from seven starts from box 7. Looks well placed and should feature.
