Maryborough Race 6 - Ab Paint Graduation Series 3Yo Trot (2Nd Heat)
ZOOLU (1) resumes after finishing seventh at her latest appearance at Melton on November 14. Talented and has plenty of upside. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Finds a nice race and will prove very tough to beat. SPIRITED GIGI (4) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at his last appearance over 1690m at this track. Will have plenty of admirers. TIMMY WHIZ (3) is taking on a far easier race this time after finishing 11th in a Group One at his latest appearance over 2240m at Melton, beaten 125 metres by Keayang Bazlenka. Will be competitive from an ideal draw. LEO GALLEON (7) last appeared when ninth over 2240m at Melton five months ago. Expect a better effort to kick off this prep.

Returns after five months in the paddock. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into seventh behind Jilliby Aura at Melton over 2240m in a 2yo No NR F on November 14 at $10. Previous preparation first-up ran on from midfield and won by 6 m (Sr1) held up early, at Bendigo (2:07.10) beating Rapta in 2yo MAIDEN on August 27 at $11. Winning prospects.
