Gosford Race 10

Statewide Fire Protection 1-2 Win

Prize Money: $2,335

ALFIE'S GIRL (6) has missed the frame at her last couple but placed three back at Taree Super Track and she does perform well at this trip. Looks suited here and big improvement expected. KALIMERA (8) proved too good last time out claiming his maiden success at Richmond Straight over 324m (17.80). Bold showing expected again. ZIPPER NIGHT (4) has been in sparkling form scoring back to back wins, the latest by a nose (23.40) over 400m at The Gardens. In top form and looks a key chance again. ALLY'S VOGUE (3) can sneak into the finish with the right run.
