Casino Race 9

Ladbrokes Quick Multi 1-3 Win

Stake: $2,709

ZIG ZEST ZAG (2) resumed in a Grade 5 at this track and finished sixth over 300m (17.34). Will be much improved and the longer journey suits. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Has ability and can bounce back. WATCH THE DIVA (4) has been out of the placings the last couple but was a Maiden winner (23.33) three back at this track. Can turn it around this time. RIPPLE LINGER (5) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with two wins and a placing from five tries. Comes off a (16.94) win last time, scoring by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 5 over 300m at this track. Makes strong appeal on best. LADY VERONICA (1) is likely to have admirers.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage eighth last time out over 366m at Capalaba. Hard to envisage a win.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (17.34) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths sixth. Has a win and two places from three starts from this draw. Has ability and should feature.

Ended last campaign with a fifth (26.01) in a GR 5 at Grafton and returns after a five months break. Yet to win but has placed two of three runs fresh. Looks a leading contender and bold showing expected.

Good performance to win by 1.75 lengths at this track over 300m (16.94) beating Feisty Foxy in Grade 5 on January 27. Has claims if at her best.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 300m at this track. Can't make much of a case this time.

Last start finished sixth on January 27 over 300m at this track behind Midnight Bullet, beaten 9 lengths (17.58) in a Grade 5. Other runners look much more appealing.
