Prize Money: $2,335

ZIPPING STROP (7) slotted in just off the lead from the wide draw last start and boxed on to finish second (30.29) at Wentworth Park in a Mix 2/3 over 520m. Must come into calculations. MINH ALFIE (2) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (23.27) last time in a Mix 1/2/3 at this track. Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. Can do much better this time. CRAFTY CHAP (4) spotted a start but wound up strongly to place when 6 lengths third (18.80) at this track in Mix 2/3. Safe beginner but has a tricky box to overcome. Ready to find winning form. KAMARI GIRL (3) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Fast starter. Latest effort finished 4th over 401m at this track beaten 5.5 lengths (23.27) behind Tell Me Again in a Mix 1/2/3 on March 1. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Finished in the minors at big odds last time when third (18.80) at this track, making it two placings on end. Awkward draw to overcome. One of the better hopes.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording four placings in a row, before finishing fourth (22.96) at Gosford last start. Drawn out wide and looks safely held.
