HECTOR FAWLEY (7) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (29.77) last time out at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Deserves serious consideration. ZIPPING HOPKINS (4) has a strong record here with five wins and seven placings from 14 starts. Was out of placings last time (30.14) at Geelong in a Special conditions H, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths. Makes strong appeal on best.

Has a good record here including four wins. Looks well placed here and has the ability. Go well. ZIPPING GRYLLIS (8) is a last-start placegetter who will have admirers.

Didn't make the placings last time at Geelong (30.33) in a Special conditions H, finishing a 7 length fifth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from four starts. Can hit the frame with the right run.

Missed the frame last start when fifth and beaten 8 lengths at Geelong. Form solid prior to that including a win at Horsham three back. Looks a definite winning chance on best and given another chance.

Finished in the minors last time in a Special conditions Veteran race at this track when a 3.5 lengths second but did run an outstanding 29.77 for the 525m trip. Has the ability and looks a key chance again.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Warrnambool over 450m in 24.97. Followed that up with a minor placing over 450m at Warrnambool at Special conditions G2 a week-and-a-half ago. Goes very well from this draw including four wins. Solid prospects.
