ZIPPING SPARTAN (1) comes off an average performance last start when fifth at The Meadows over 525m behind Paw Uma (31.00) in a Grade 5. Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to his name from nine starts. Can bounce back. BOURBON BULLET (5) turned in a modest effort most recently when sixth at Ballarat over 390m behind Essence (22.67) in a Grade 5 H. Deserves plenty of respect. MAGPIE HARRY (7) has placed in the last two outings, one of them here. Won three of the previous four starts. Has claims.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (31.00) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length fifth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and four places from nine starts. Looks suited and should go close.

Comments

Goes well at this track and trip. Most recent effort finished last over 390m at Ballarat beaten 8 lengths (22.67) behind Essence in a Grade 5 H on April 9. Expect improvement on the latest effort. Great chance to atone.

In the money last time at Ballarat (22.65) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2.75 lengths third. Has four successes and two minors from 11 starts from box 7. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 350m at Healesville. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
