ZIPPING SCHRUB (2) boasts a strong record this journey with 13 wins and five minors from 27 tries. Missed the frame latest (17.63) when fifth over 300m at Taree Super Track in a NG. Suited here and expected to run well. SONGAR OSCAR (8) recorded a 3 length win (22.75) in a NG last time at this track. Can feature in the finish.

Scored by 0.8 lengths last time (23.03) in a Grade 4 over 400m at this track. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and three places from six starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Good performance after racing just off the speed to win by a neck at this track over 400m (22.72) beating Done Dealing in Grade 3/4 on October 22. Boasts a course and distance PB in a scintillating 22.55. Must include.
