Q2 Parklands Race 4

Garrard's Gold Cup H

Prize Money: $13,000

ZIPPING XADEN (1) is better than last start when sixth (42.21) in a OPEN at this track over 710m. Solid record here winning two races. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Looks the one to beat on his best form. MAGPIE HECTOR (2) is worth forgiving for his last effort when fourth (34.58) at this track over 600m. Form at the trip excellent including two wins. Has won two of three starts from this draw. Cannot be taken lightly. LIGHT OF MINE (5) jumped from the inside and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 1.5 lengths (42.34) behind Ayden's Warrior at Wentworth Park. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Winning chance. AUTUMN STORM (4) is always a threat when she races at this track and distance.

Missed the frame last start when fourth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Best figures puts him right in this and well worth another chance.

Was out of placings last time (35.23) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths. Box stats strong with four wins and two placings from nine starts. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, will not find this easy. Not keen.
