GOING: G(4)

WHIPBIRD WINES CLASS 3 SHOWCASE HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 34)   Rail: True.  

Moderate pace only with Marvel Man leading Super Zippi. BUTTERFLY STYLE (6) resumes with the one good trial placing over 780m at Kembla and should relish the solid tempo. Came to the end of his prep when fourth over 1400m at Newcastle. Senior rider booked and will be attacking the line strongly. PHAROAHZANO (3) failed to see the mile out when a fading twelfth over 1600m at Newcastle in Highway class. Has a good record over this track and trip and shapes as a worthy contender. MARVEL MAN (1) deep into her prep and racing in career-best form. Was a month between runs at the latest when second over 1000m at Wellington. Trained locally and sure to be thereabouts. SUPER ZIPPI (2) returns from a let-up. Anchored with the 60kg when a tiring eighth over 1200m at Canberra. Finds an easier contest with the drop in weight.Improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Butterfly Style can get the job done.
