Prize Money: $3,110

ZIPPING DEKKERS (5) was a winner (29.75) two back off the rails draw then got further back last time but came home hard into fifth at Wentworth Park (30.13). Can discover winning form. ZIPPING MCKEON (8) slotted in just off the lead from the wide draw last start and boxed on to finish third (30.10) at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5 over 520m. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Leading player again. ZIPPING KIRK (2) had been racing well prior to his last start fifth at Wentworth Park following a Mix win three back with a second placing. Can find the frame this time. STILL HAPPY (1) is in fine form and looks a good top-three chance again.

Showing promise but missed the frame last start when fifth at Wentworth Park. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Rates strongly and can return to winning form.

Was out of placings last time (22.97) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Others rate better this time.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 5 length third (30.10) over 520m at Wentworth Park. Capable of a strong show.
