Gosford Race 8 - Aqua Splash At Gosford Max 150 Pts
MIA ZIPPER (8) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (17.68) last time in a NG at Richmond Straight. Has won two of two starts from this draw. Can atone. DRINK TWISTIES (1) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame from Box 8 last run (22.55) at Maitland. Ready to find winning form. SAIL AWAY SAM (4) has a strong record here including three wins from six starts. Below best last time at this track (30.17) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length fourth. Among the main chances. TOWERING LUKE (2) cannot be left out despite racing here for the first time.
