Little Patrick can continue to reward his followers in the seventh race at Wyong on Thursday.

The David Pfieffer-trained gelding has won both his starts this campaign, each at Cessnock over 1350m.

They have been clinical wins where the Street Sense gelding has simply rolled forward and either settled handy or made all.

From barrier 14, expect the three-year-old to do something similar here.

While he is taking on a larger field, Little Patrick rates clear on latest form and certainly looks the most progressive sort in the event.

Crown Of Dreams has held his form well this campaign and while he doesn’t win out of turn, warrants plenty of consideration.

Expect the four-year-old to be carted across from his wide draw by the anticipated favourite and will likely be locked onto Little Patrick’s heels throughout.

While The Dam Hotel Benchmark 60 Handicap (1350m) at Wyong is a capacity 16 horse field, it lacks depth as evidenced when looking at who can loosely be considered threats to Little Patrick.

Here Comes The Sun is holding form this prep but rates three pounds shy of Little Patrick on weight adjusted figures.

Eiredom after two straight placings shapes as the next elect.

Overall though, expect Little Patrick to have his rivals off the bit and struggling by the 500m in The Dam Hotel Benchmark 60 Handicap (1350m) at Wyong on Thursday.
