Gosford Race 8

City Racing Coming To Gosford

Prize Money: $3,235

TEMPEST TIGER (1) has been out of the placings last couple but caught the eye when clocking a 29.63 over 515m at this track three starts back. Rates on top and can find winning form again. MIA ZIPPER (7) was out of the placings last time when sixth at Maitland (22.86) but did record second best time of the card when winning three back. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from six attempts. Expected to run well. HELLO PRETZEL (3) has recorded back to back wins, last time scoring at this track over 388m by 5 lengths (22.03). Winner at her latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Likely to be in the finish. LADY LLORONA (6) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Hasn't threatened at her last couple but she has solid credentials over this track and distance. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.

Missed the frame last start when sixth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Makes plenty of appeal on best and can easily atone here.

Missed the frame latest (29.95) when seventh over 515m at this track in a Grade 5. Strong record off the draw with four wins and two minors from 10 starts. Others appear better placed.
