Wentworth Park Race 4

Farrell's Association Cup Heat 3 H

Stake: $11,990

GROOVEBIRD (1) Led from start to finish to win last time at The Meadows in 42.99s over 730m and gets the perfect box. Has plenty of early speed. Strong hope. MAX CAPACITY (5) Flew home to win last time at Cannington in 41.65s over 715m. Peter Lagogiane kennel are in good form of late. In top racing shape this preparation. Could pose a threat and expected to go very close. MIGHT HAVE BEEN (4) On a quick back up. Towards the tail last run at Richmond but facing a rise in trip. Must be considered. ELLA'S BABE (8) First up after a break. Was nothing special when 6th last run at Sandown Park but drawn nicely. Should get going late. Recent form of the kennel is strong. One of the chances.

Resuming after a break. Unimpressive effort when 6th last run at Sandown Park but has a good draw. Brooke Ennis kennel are having a great run of late. Knockout chance.
