Taree Race 9 - Ladbrokes Kempsey Cup Heat 3 H
MALICIOUS (6) continued his winning form with another strong run after racing on speed to bring up three wins in a row at The Gardens over 600m (34.48). Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. In sparkling form with a string of wins and can measure up again. OXLEY FLYER (1) was out of in the placings when fourth last time but prior to that posted a strong 30.43 win over 525m at this track. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. LAST SHOT RIPPER (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (31.02) last time in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. Leading chance. ZIPPING VIVID (8) can measure up with the right run.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (31.02) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 10 length fifth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Looks a key chance on best form.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (30.02) over 515m at The Gardens. Drawn a inside box but will need the breaks to go his way.

Has been in tremendous form, putting three wins back-to-back. Had plenty of support last start when he won by 1.75 lengths at The Gardens (34.48) beating Spin Around Blue in a Grade 5 on May 30. Flying lately and can score again.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 527m at Gunnedah. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Won two starts back when well in the market at The Gardens over 400m. Last start finished last on May 31 over 527m at Gunnedah behind Tenacious Talker beaten 13 lengths (31.45) in a NG. Capable of much better. Worth keeping safe.
