Broken Hill Race 8

Century 21 Broken Hill

Prize Money: $3,455

EPIC STORY (4) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by 5.5 lengths (30.82) at this track. Form reads well for this. ZIPPING BOTHAM (1) placed last time (31.38) at this track in a NG, finishing third and beaten 8 lengths. Has already won two times from this draw. Makes strong appeal on best. RITZA BENJI (6) finds it hard to win. Finished in the money last time though when second (31.18) at this track. Form at the trip sound including five wins. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Can measure up. CARUGGI (8) will run well despite no experience on this track.

Improved sharply when third behind Epic Story at this track last start over 525m (31.38). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Was a winner three back at Mt Gambier then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when fifth (23.19) at Gawler. Capable and may well bounce back this time.
