Wentworth Park Race 2 - Ron Arnold Appreciation
FAWN RUPEE (1) comes off an average performance last start when fifth at Richmond Straight over 324m behind Zipping Palmer (18.18) in a Grade 5. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and five minor placings to his credit. Should be very hard to beat this time. RIPPER JOE (2) ran below best last time finishing seventh (30.91) over 520m at this track from Box 4. Smart beginner who should take advantage of the low draw. Likely to be thereabouts. ZIPPING KRISTOFF (8) is better than last start when fourth (20.23) in a Free For All at Goulburn over 350m. Solid record at the distance winning four races. Good beginner but will need a little luck early crossing from an outside draw. Expected to give a good account. NANGAR ZARA (3) deserves plenty of thought over this trip.

Was out of placings last time (18.18) at Richmond Straight in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and five places from nine starts. Makes strong appeal.

Fast starter. Latest effort finished last on October 3 over 520m at this track behind My Boy Bingo beaten 18 lengths (30.91) in a NG. Has performed below expectations at his last couple but is capable of far better.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Gardens (35.06) in a NG, finishing a 13 length sixth. Has two wins and two placings from seven starts from the draw. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Good effort to win last start by 1.75 lengths over 520m at this track in a handy (30.09), beating Monsoon Ethics. Will find this a bit tougher, prepared to overlook.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 520m at this track. Likely to find this too tough.

Has finished fourth at the last two runs, both at Goulburn, the latest when beaten 3.5 lengths behind Freight Express over 350m. Has ability and worth including.
