Gosford Race 8

Central Coast Locksmiths 0-3 Win

Prize Money: $3,235

MARISSA VELLA (1) turned in a plain performance last time when seventh at this track over 515m behind Tempest Tiger (30.26) in a Grade 5. Placed at her previous run. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Can make amends. ZIPPING DOWNEY (7) produced a moderate performance last time when seventh at Wentworth Park over 520m behind Zipping Oshawa (30.61) in a Grade 5. Placed at his previous run. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and four minor placings to his credit. Can figure in the finish. WHY ME (5) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Has finished in the placings two on end now, the latest when third (35.56) at this track. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expected to be in this for a long way. NINJA STORM (2) cannot be dismissed although new to this distance.

Didn't make the placings last time at Wentworth Park (30.61) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length seventh. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and four minors. Expected to go close.

Last start finished fifth on August 27 over 520m at Wentworth Park behind Queen Caramel, beaten 14 lengths (31.22) in a Grade 5. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.
