Prize Money: $3,315

DIGGER SURE CAN (1) ran the fastest on the card last time scoring by 1.75 lengths (29.74) at Gosford. Form reads well for this. MOONLIGHT ZIPPER (4) is progressing well scoring last time out (29.88) at this track and bringing up her 6th career win. Goes very well here at the trip finding the frame in each of three starts. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and six minor placings to her credit. Leading chance again. SASSY SUPREME (3) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at Taree Super Track over 525m behind Occulent (31.10) in a NG. Worth following up. MALICIOUS (8) was out of placings last time (30.06) at Q Parklands in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Has already won two times from this draw.

Solid performance after tracking the speed to win by 1.75 lengths at Gosford over 515m (29.74) beating Hurry Tuncurry in Grade 4/5 on April 21. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Comes off a (29.88) win last time, scoring by 1.5 lengths in a Grade 5 over 515m at this track. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and six places from nine starts. Looks suited and should go close.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 515m at this track. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Missed the frame latest (22.90) when seventh over 388m at Gosford in a Grade 5. Starts from box 7 for the first time here. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.
