Taree Race 5 - Ladbrokes Taree Cup Heat 1 H
KINGSBRAE BRETT (2) had won two in a row before finishing seventh (28.26) last time at Casino. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. ZIPPING HAGEN (4) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 6 lengths away in second (30.78). Deserves a win and gets his chance. STAR (7) struggled in tougher grade last start after settling off pace at The Gardens, but prior to that won by 2.25 lengths at Grafton (25.18) beating Sunburnt Keeper in a Grade 4/5 on March 17. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Cannot be left out. KIARNI PHANTOM (1) is always hard to beat when drawn in this box.

Has finished sixth at the last two runs, both at Maitland, the latest when beaten 4.5 lengths behind Shot Of Magic over 450m. This appears within his reach.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (30.78) over 525m at this track. Although unsuccessful last time still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with him.
