Race Overview

CAPYBARA (2) charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, giving a huge sight but headed late when a nose second (29.40) over 560y at this track. Has good early burn and is drawn to be prominent. Key chance in this line up. WIND WHISKERS (7) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame from Box 6 last run (29.55) at this track. Goes very well from this draw with five wins and five minor placings from 11 starts. Expecting another good run. ZIPPING SIGRID (1) quickly away to win over the 563y at Sandown two runs back then raced on speed again when finishing third at this track last start. Safe beginner who draws ideally on the inside. Can measure up. ZIPPING SANDCHEZ (8) placed last time (29.63) at this track in a OPEN, finishing third and beaten 2.25 lengths. Has already won two times from this draw.

Wind Whiskers possesses a phenomenal career win rate and excels from this wide draw, boasting five wins from 11 starts. While her recent 560y form is good, her blistering 437y time two starts back indicates she has the speed to be a major threat if she can replicate that early pace. The wide draw should allow her clear running.

Zipping Sigrid is a safe beginner who gets the coveted inside draw, a significant advantage at Mt Gambier. Her last start third at this track and distance shows she's competitive at this level, and her prior Sandown win demonstrates her class. If she can hold the rail early, she'll be hard to dislodge.
