Wentworth Park Race 2 - The Sarkis Barakat Cup
ZIPPING HILDA (2) caught the eye with a fast early split and setting up a 2 length win at Richmond over 520m in 29.96. Good beginner aided by a nice draw. Form reads well for this. PRESCOT (3) finished fifth last time at Goulburn but could not have been more impressive before that in his handy 28.78 win at Bulli over 515m. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. SUTTON SPARKY (1) could manage only sixth at this track last time but caught the eye when posting a sharp 24.86 over 440m at Goulburn the start prior. Top win two back and can measure up again. BRING ON BLING (4) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Goulburn over 440m. Last start finished last on April 10 over 520m at this track behind Go Jimmy beaten 14 lengths (30.81) in a Grade 5. Yet to be beaten in two starts out of this box. Sure to go well.

Good effort to score just six days ago over 520m at Richmond by 2 lengths in a Grade 5. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Ordinary effort last start when he was slow out over 440m at Goulburn. Prior to that won by 1.75 lengths at Bulli (28.78) beating Cool Story in a Grade 5 on March 25. Leading contender.

Recent form has been ordinary and he is facing a tougher line up. Has failed to show enough to come into contention here.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row, before finishing eighth (35.50) at Gosford last start. Has to overcome a wide draw and looks tested this line up.

Missed the placings last time out over 365m at Nowra after a win two back at Nowra. Look for improvement. Not out of it.
