DAPHNE ZACAPA (2) comes off an average performance last start when sixth at this track over 400m behind Jasper Darke (24.22) in a Grade 4/5. Was in the money prior to that. Has ability and can bounce back. SKINNY MARIE (4) has mixed form a little and missed the frame the last two but was a Grade 4/5 winner three back (22.97) at this track over 400m. Well placed here and can atone this time. ZIPPING GRESSIER (8) missed the frame latest when eighth at Capalaba (20.56) but scored five back at this track (22.86). Solid record here at the distance winning four races. Worth following up. MARG'S VOGUE (3) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can turn the form around.

Comments

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior was just edged out when second (23.33) at big odds over 400m at this track. Nicely drawn on the inside and is worth plenty of thought.

Last start finished last in a Grade 4/5 on October 13 over 400m at this track behind Jasper Darke beaten 11 lengths (24.22). Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Was out of placings last time (24.19) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing fifth and beaten 10 lengths. Has performed well off the draw with a win and three places from eight starts. Makes appeal on best.

Last start finished last in a Free For All on October 9 over 400m at this track behind Lochinvar Grace beaten 6 lengths (23.37). Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.
