ZIPPING RAPUNZEL (1) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 1.5 lengths (29.72) behind Princess Ada at this track. Leading chance again. ZIPPING LILO (7) has a strong winning strike-rate here with two wins and a placing from four tries. Was out of placings last time (21.06) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 2.5 lengths. Among the main chances.
