Dubbo Race 9

Grnsw Middle Distance Series

Prize Money: $10,500

ZIPPING XADEN (2) looks close to another win after finishing third last time (35.74) at Richmond. Solid winning record at this trip. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Bold showing expected. TANK KEEPING (6) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by 2.75 lengths at Richmond in a handy 35.23 beating ZIG ZAG MAN. Comes through a solid form race last start. Can make it back-to-back wins. ZIG ZAG MAN (3) collected a minor prize last start out of the same box - must be considered.
