SUPER ZIPPI (6) ran on strongly only to just miss last start over 5f at Wyong. Should be near her peak for this. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. KEWELL (2) is a maiden galloper resuming from a lay-off after finishing fifth over 5f at Gosford at the latest appearance on November 25. Sharpened for this with a placing in a recent trial. Likely to be in the finish. JOEY D'OR (1) was well fancied but below his best at the last run before a break on November 22 finishing eighth over 7f at Warwick Farm. Starts this prep with Ashley Morgan taking charge. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Capable of testing this field. COMMANDO JACK (3) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on October 4 finishing sixth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 7f at Randwick Kensington. Lines up. For the first time for trainer david j smith. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
