Gosford Race 9 - Www.thedogs.com.au 1-3 Win
ZIPPING MERRITT (1) steps out a further 190m to an untried trip. Missed the frame last time when 7th and beaten 14 lengths (30.98) at Nowra. Rates on top and should go close. BOY BANDIT (4) was an impressive winner last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 2.25 lengths (33.90) at Bulli. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. CANYA ALL TALK (7) is better than last start when sixth (35.94) in a Mix at this track over 603m. Has the ability to give this a shake. NINJA STORM (5) cannot be underestimated.

Hasn't produced too much recently, and faces tougher opposition here. Not going well enough to figure in this.
