SPRING WITNESS (7) was below best at his last start when 7th at Wentworth Park following a third place finish (29.78) there two back. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. Key runner on his best form. ZIPPING ZEPPELIN (8) ran the fastest on the card last time scoring by 2 lengths (22.49) at this track. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. BRETT KEEPING (1) made contact in the run when fifth in a Grade 5 at this track last time over 401m, finishing 15 lengths from the winner (23.75). Has Box 1 this time where he has two wins. Has the ability and can atone with the right run. ZIPPING BUFFALO (5) shapes well for this after a powerful 29.53 win latest. One of the chances.

Showing promise but missed the frame last start when fifth at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Has ability and worth including among the chances.

Comes off a (29.53) win last time, scoring by 0.8 lengths in a Grade 5 over 520m at Nowra. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and two places from six starts. Makes appeal on best.

Didn't make the placings last time at Wentworth Park (30.51) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 11 length seventh. Has one win and three placings from seven starts from the draw. Makes strong appeal.
