RACE 1
ZIPPING GRESSIER (1) turned in a solid run last start over 457m at Q Lakeside finishing 5th and beaten only 4.5 lengths (25.93). Key runner on his best form. BENTLEY OLAF (5) lines up here off a comfortable win at Q Straight after jumping from box 3 (18.66). Has a tricky draw to overcome and will need a clean break. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. ZIPPING OBIRI (2) was favourite last start and led all the way, scoring by 3.5 lengths (30.10) at this track in a Maiden over 520m. Expected to feature again. MALAWI REBEL (3) has claims if he runs up to his best.
RACE 2
GOLDSTAR PRADA (8) boasts a strong record this journey with three wins and three minors from eight tries. Missed the frame latest (42.01) when fifth over 710m at this track in a OPEN. Rates on top and should go close. AKELA NINJUTSU (7) ran good time (41.96) when placing two back at this track but missed the frame latest in a OPEN at this track. Expected to do much better this time. GOLDSTAR GINNY (1) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing sixth (42.53) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Can measure up this time.

RACE 3

Below best last time at this track (35.44) in a Grade 5, finishing a 12 length fifth. Looks one of the chances. ORGANISED KAOS (2) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (28.94) at Townsville. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Leading chance. CASE DISMISSED (7) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.
RACE 5
