Bold showing expected again. ZERO PREDATOR (1) turned in a plain performance last time when eighth at Horsham over 410m behind Paw Maud (24.70) in a Mix 6/7. In the mix.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished last on April 11 over 410m at Horsham behind Paw Maud beaten 20 lengths (24.70) in a Mix 6/7. Has performed below expectations at her last couple but is capable of far better.

Surprised two starts back at Bendigo to win by one length in 24.96, beating Little Tic. Last start finished last over 425m at Bendigo beaten 10 lengths (24.96) behind Jackpot Cash in a Grade 6 on April 2. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Missed the frame last time when sixth (23.83) at Horsham. Prior to that had been racing well. Tough draw to overcome and will need a little luck to feature.
