Rockhampton Race 8 - Anniversary Cup H
ZIPPING GATSBY (5) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fourth (30.16) at this track in a OPEN. Solid beginner and with a good start can clear the tricky draw. Likely to improve sharply this time. KEJ STEFANI (1) finished fourth last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 498m at Townsville, taking a OPEN in a solid 28.84. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. QUICK SHOT (2) last seen when scorching around the 407m at this track in 23.49 for a 1.75 lengths win. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. ABRAXOS (7) is worth including after a top-three finish most recently.

Backs up after winning by 1.3 lengths at Q Parklands (30.08) beating Bandit Chloe in a Grade 5 on March 12 six days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and he needs to find another gear.

Could manage only fourth last time but turned heads the start prior when he recorded a strong 29.99 over 510m finishing second at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance.
