Wentworth Park Race 8 - Mark Hughes Appreciation
RITZA TIANA (3) Nice run when 2nd last time at this track and strong performer at this distance in the past. Have to respect the recent Mark Gatt form. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . MAGIC BANDIT (4) Nice effort when winning last start at this venue. Can't knock the form winning 2 on the bounce. Has good early speed and will be nicely positioned. Expect to go close. LATE IN WINTER (8) First up from a break of 10 weeks and rounded them up when winning first up last preparation at Richmond. Displays good early speed. Drawn nicely. Betting is the best guide and has each way claims. FOREIGN CAPITAL (2) Competitive effort when 2nd last run at the track. In a purple patch of form this preparation. Serious player.

Finished 3rd last time at this track and has drawn the rails. Should muster plenty of early toe. Racing consistently this prep. Do not dismiss.

Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run at this track. Been in the money frequently this campaign. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

Tidy run when 2nd last time here and suited at this trip historically. Mark Gatt kennel are on fire recently. Amongst the placegetters at every start this preparation. Should give plenty of sight.

Was all too good winning last start at the track. Undefeated last 2 starts. Expecting to settle positively. Jodie Lord kennel are running hot lately. Strong claims in this.

Jumped at $18.00 and appeared lacklustre when 4th last time here. Amongst the placegetters on multiple occasions this campaign. Prefer in something a lot easier.

Handy enough when winning last run at this venue and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Have to respect the recent kennel form. Great chance.

First up from a break of 10 weeks and ran on strongly to win first up last preparation at Richmond. Has plenty of early speed. Good chance and definitely has claims.
