Gosford Race 8 - Central Coast Locksmiths 1-2 Win
CHASING TIME (5) finished in the minors last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 300m at Taree Super Track, taking a Maiden in a speedy 17.39. Expected to push the clock again here. HEY ZIPPER (1) turned in a plain run last time when fifth at this track over 388m behind Bring The Beers (22.69) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. The form out of last race has been strong. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. TARAWI REX (6) had a wide draw last time when running fourth (22.78) over 388m at this track in a Grade 5. Deserves plenty of respect. RUBY TANUKI (2) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Lines up from box 1 for the first time after finishing a 11 length fifth at this track (22.69) in a Grade 5. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Could only manage eighth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when second (23.29) over 400m at The Gardens. Draws an inside box and is worth plenty of thought.
