The Meadows Race 5 - Melbournegreyhounds.org.au

ZIPPING COLUMBUS (1) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at his last five runs. Last time finished 3rd on June 26 over 485m at Horsham behind Organised Crime beaten 7 lengths (27.19) in a Special conditions G2. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from six starts. One of the leading chances. WIZARD WATSON (2) is better than last start when fifth (30.55) in a Grade 5 H at this track over 525m. Worth following up. MOTHER GEORGIA (4) was a winner two back when leading throughout but drifted back latest and safely held when 7th and beaten 12 lengths at Geelong (26.67). Should play a prominent role. TASTE (5) will be thereabouts after strong recent winning form.

Effortless winner leading throughout to score by 7 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at this track, recording a slick 30.05 over the 525m journey. Should be in this for a long way.
