Gosford Race 5 - Simply Limelight Gosford To Wenty Ht 1 H

ZIPPING RUFFIAN (2) was sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 10 length second (36.31) over 622m at Richmond. Winning claims. TARA REBEL (3) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 5th (23.26) at The Gardens. Likely to be thereabouts. PIZZA THIEF (1) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 3.5 lengths at The Gardens in a handy 23.03 beating Hollies Hayley. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Should feature again. MR. NICKO (6) is worth a look despite no experience at this circuit.

Is back up to 515m which has been an issue in the past. Last appeared when successful over 400m at The Gardens a week-and-a-half ago. Draw will be an advantage among the chances and worth following up.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 10 length second (36.31) over 622m at Richmond. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Did a good job two starts back at Bulli to win by 2.25 lengths in 22.36, beating Out Of Savage. Last start finished 4th over 400m at Maitland beaten 8 lengths (22.98) behind Zipper Stride in a Grade 5 on July 27. Looks tested in this company.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (30.19) over 520m at Richmond. Tough draw to overcome but is worth plenty of thought.

Good effort to win last start by 2.25 lengths over 400m at Maitland in a handy (22.79), beating Midnight Mohawk. Will find this a bit tougher, will not find this easy. Not keen.
