FORTY WINKS VICBRED VOUCHER 4YO & OLDER MAIDEN PACE 1650m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 34)    

ZAPPA (2) is lightly-raced but progressing well and looks close to a win after back-to-back placings, last time working but missing narrowly at Mildura. Draws closer to the pegs so gets the chance to break through. ROCKNROLL COWBOY (3) is stepping out for the first time. By Rock N Roll Heaven and hails from the Latter stable. Has strong trial form coming into this, winning his latest hitout and he draws well. FIVE CENT (1) has had much wider barriers in two starts so far this campaign and showed improvement last time. Much better served by the ace draw so can progress further. CROCODILE BLOOD (9) hasn't had a lot of luck of late but can be competitive if things go his way from the second line.
