Wentworth Park Race 9 - One Mitzvah For Bondi
BETTER LIGHT UP (2) was a hot course and distance winner last time, claiming a Grade 5 in a powerful 29.77 and a new PB here. Expected to push the clock again. FALSE WITNESS (1) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind See This (30.12) in a Grade 5. Worked home well on that occasion and should be strong late. Goes well out of this box with a win and five minor placings. Leading chance. BLUE LINKIN (4) hit the ground running from out wide and on speed early but faded and swamped late when 5th at this track in Grade 5 company. Has never been out of the placings from three starts out of this box. Leading chance. TENACIOUS TALKER (8) has a solid strike rate at this distance.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 520m in 29.77 last start, beating Ritza Tears. Can make it back to back wins.

Hit the frame latest (30.16) when third at Nowra in a Grade 5. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and four minors. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won easily by 9 lengths at The Gardens (29.57) beating I'm Alright in a Grade 5 on November 29. Coming out of a very strong form race. Can feature with the right run.
