ZIPPING MERRITT (2) clocked a new course and distance PB last time, finishing a 2.5 lengths third behind Bail Jumper in 20.91. Expected to push the clock again here. NEL'S BESTIE (8) was below best at her last start when 6th at this track following a third place finish (21.10) there two back. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. BOLD SPARK (5) turned in a solid run last start over 365m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 5 lengths (21.18). Bold showing expected. MIDNIGHT TRACEY (1) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 2.5 lengths third (20.91) over 365m at this track. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Leading player.
