Gosford Race 5 - Simply Limelight Gosford-Wenty Ht 2 H
SPEEDY ZIPPER (1) drew the inside and won last time at Maitland over 450m (25.34) after losing his position early, scoring by 2.75 lengths. The one to beat again off the inside draw. HAPPY ETHICS (2) claimed an on-pace win two back then gave a start but got home into the frame when third at Maitland (22.49). Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Can measure up. HELLO PRETZEL (3) was in winning form two back (22.62) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 7th. Was a winner at her only start from this draw. One of the main contenders. DONE DEALING (7) cannot be underestimated.
