Wentworth Park Race 9 - Chris Mackay Appreciation
LATE IN WINTER (1) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame from Box 6 last run (29.79) at Richmond. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Top chance in this line up. BABY FACE BANDIT (6) struggled in tougher grade last start at this track, but prior to that won by 0.8 lengths at this track (29.63) beating LATE IN WINTER in a NG on August 20. The form out of his last race has been franked. Expected to feature in the finish. WINSOME RAMBO (2) finished second (30.02) two back at Richmond but out of the placings last time when 7th there. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Has a strong record from this draw, notching two wins and three minor placings from five starts. Key player if finds best. FLAT OUT FREDDY (5) pinged the lids and wasn't headed last time. Must be respected.

Flew the lids with a sensational early split and led until late but gathered in when a 1.3 lengths second at Richmond over 520m in 29.79. Has run hot time here with a 29.44 PB at the distance. Key chance.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.
