SPARKY KEY (2) turned in a moderate run last time when eighth at Wentworth Park over 520m behind Rosa Marie (30.87) in a Mix 1/2/3. Worth another chance. GIRL GOES ZIP (1) hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 1.5 lengths (22.70) over 400m at Maitland. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from five attempts. Significant danger. WONKY KEY DONKEY (6) comes off an average run last start when fifth at Wentworth Park over 520m behind Kingsbrae Brett (30.54) in a Mix 1/2/3. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. JUNGLE TIGER (3) can sneak into the finish.
