AINSWORTH - AGTSLOTS.COM 3YO TROTTERS FOUNDATION HEAT 2300m

Track: FAST      

ZIPPING VOLSTEAD (5) was beaten into third when resuming as a hot favourite but it was her first outing for four months so it should have improved her. Showed ability as a juvenile including a Melton win on debut so is worth another chance. BERTINELLI (6) kicked off her campaign with a string of top-four finishes before digging deep to score last start at this venue, getting home by a nose. Draws wider but is race fit so could keep the ball rolling. JACKIES GIFT (2) is close to a win after being edged out narrowly at her last two starts and draws well again. ORIA (3) placed despite breaking here last time and has trialled twice since. Player with manners.
