Gosford Race 4 - Settlers Tavern West Gosford 1-3 Win
WILDFIRE PANDA (2) has a strong record this trip with two wins and two placings from six starts. Was out of placings last time (30.34) at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Has the ability and should feature. FANCY PAY CHEQUE (5) turned in a better effort at Wentworth Park last start, finishing third behind Voila (30.30) in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from four attempts. Winning chance. MISS RAVEN ROSE (1) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished third (30.37) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Expecting another good run. SENTOSA (6) is a last-start placegetter with solid claims again.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 3.5 lengths in 29.61, beating Big Frost. Last start finished last in a Grade 5 on September 17 over 520m at Wentworth Park behind Exorbitant beaten 17 lengths (30.81). Is a danger.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by half a length at this track (22.44) beating Old Friends in a Grade 5 on September 8. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
