Gosford Race 2 - Simply Limelight At Stud 1-4 Win F
ZIPPING STITCH (1) produced a modest effort most recently when eighth at Nowra over 520m behind Puffin Punta (30.81) in a Grade 5. Worth another chance. OPTIMISM (7) looks close to another win after finishing third last time (29.99) in a Grade 5 at The Gardens. Can measure up. ZIPPING HAMILTON (3) won last start after racing on the pace. Big chance on that form.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished last on October 7 over 520m at Nowra behind Puffin Punta beaten 15 lengths (30.81) in a Grade 5. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Good effort to win last start by 6 lengths over 520m at Nowra in a handy (29.82), beating Any More Caramel. In winning form now and looks a major threat.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in her races. The latest effort was a 17 length sixth over 520m at Wentworth Park. This will test.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 515m in 29.17. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 484m at Casino at Grade 5 level. Boasts a course and distance PB in a lightning 29.17. Must include.

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but had to settle for the minor money, finishing a 2.5 lengths third (29.99) over 515m at The Gardens. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.
