ZIPPING ARVADA (3) rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (22.04) at this track over 390m. Likely to feature again. HONEY RYDER (8) was below best at her last couple, the latest finishing sixth at Sandown, but was among the placings at Sandown three back. Rates a winning chance on best. REMI JOY (1) produced a modest effort most recently when eighth at this track over 450m behind Shorty Boy (25.75) in a Grade 4/5. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to her credit. Can figure in the finish. DESIRED (2) was in the money last start in fast time and should feature again.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 22.04 over 390m at this track. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.
