BEFORE THE DAWN (8) boasts a strong record this course with five wins and three minors from 11 tries. Comes off a (29.72) win last time, scoring by 1.5 lengths in a Grade 5 over 520m at Wentworth Park. Expected to be in the finish. ZIPPING MOONEY (1) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish second, beaten 2 lengths, (29.90) at Nowra. Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to her name from seven starts. Expected to be in this for a long way. ZIPPING BOTHAM (2) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (29.79) at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Has a strong record from box 2, including three wins. Deserves a win and gets his chance. ZIPPING ADMIRAL (7) missed the frame latest but ran an exceptional 29.75. One of the chances here.

Working her way into winning form after her success on November 20 at Nowra over 520m. Last start was second over 520m in 29.90, behind Winsome Josie. Should prove hard to beat.

Hit the frame at this track last time when a 1.75 lengths second but did record a decent 29.79 over the 520m journey. Can slot into the minors again.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (29.68) over 515m at Gosford. Has a squeeze box to navigate and looks tested this line up.

Missed the frame last start when fourth and beaten 7 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Has ability but needs to find best and others make more appeal.

Could manage only fourth last time but turned heads the start prior when he was an impressive winner after leading throughout, scoring by 2.5 lengths in a Grade 5 at Nowra and recording a dominant 29.76 over the 520m journey. Worth including on winning run two back.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Wentworth Park over 520m in 29.72 last start, beating Blue Linkin. Has hit winning form and can measure up again.
