Wentworth Park Race 9 - Where Else But Wenty?
CESSNOCK CURTAIN (1) is progressing well scoring last time out (24.88) at Maitland and bringing up his 9th career win. The hardest to beat again. TAKE A BREAK (4) has a strong overall record having six wins and eight places from 19 starts but was out of the money last time when fourth (30.17) over 520m at this track. Solid record at this trip including five wins. Has the ability and rates a key chance this line-up. PAST TENSE (2) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame from Box 4 last run (25.12) at Maitland. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Must be included in calculations. FASCINATE SUZIE (7) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Maitland over 450m in 24.88 last start, beating Rise Up Nismo. Likes the rails so has run slick time here with a 29.84 PB at the distance. Go close.

Fast starter. Latest effort finished 4th in a NG on March 14 over 520m at this track behind Back Tomorrow beaten 6 lengths (30.17). Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 8 length third at Maitland but did record a solid 22.49 over the 400m journey. Looking to others this time.
