Prize Money: $2,490

ZIPPING BALBOA (7) has a strong record here with four wins and three placings from nine starts. Missed the frame latest (30.39) when sixth over 520m at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. SCREAMING VIOLET (3) is worth forgiving last start after finishing eighth (24.14) from Box 3 at this track over 401m. The form out of last race has been strong. A big run wouldn't surprise. ZIPPING CLAVELL (1) goes very well this course and distance starting 11 times for six wins and two minors. Comes off a (22.88) win last time, scoring by 4.5 lengths in a Grade 5 over 401m at this track. Can feature with the right run. MIDNIGHT STAR (2) is a last-start placegetter here at this trip - worth considering.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 4.5 lengths over 401m at this track in a handy 22.88, beating Shot Of Faith. Well suited by the draw. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Comments

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 2.75 lengths second (22.89) over 401m at this track. Rates among the chances this time.

Latest effort finished last in a Grade 5 on August 20 over 401m at this track behind Cash Chaser beaten 11 lengths (24.14). Happy to overlook recent efforts. Well placed and gets chance to find best.

Missed the frame last start when fifth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Capable and may well bounce back this time.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 0.8 lengths second at Temora but did record a solid 18.84 over the 330m journey. Can measure up with a repeat of latest.

Missed the frame latest (30.39) when sixth over 520m at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5. Has two successes and two minors from six starts from box 7. Makes strong appeal.
