STARRY ETHICS (1) steps out for the first time at this course. Comes here a last start placegetter at Gosford in a Grade 5 (29.87). Leading chance again. ZIPPER STRIDE (6) was prominent throughout when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when 6th and beaten 4 lengths at Bulli (22.69). Was a winner at his only start from this draw. Can figure in the finish. SHIRLEY'S ETHICS (2) can keep on winning after a head turning last start success, getting around the 400m at Bulli in 22.36. Smart winner latest and looks a key chance on that form. TOP BIN NISMO (7) is not to be discarded.

Comments

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 6 length second (29.87) over 515m at Gosford. Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.

Solid performance to win by 2.25 lengths at Bulli over 400m (22.36) beating Out Of Savage in Grade 5 on June 23. Can make it two on the bounce.
