Zipping Classic racing preview

The Group 2 Zipping Classic at weight-for-age conditions is the featured race on Saturday’s card at the Sandown Hillside track. With three Group 1 winners among the field of nine for the 2400m event worth $250,000, it looks like we’re set for a great race.

Lord Belvedere was unlucky to miss the ballot for a start in the Melbourne Cup considering his form during his winter campaign. At one point he was battling it out with Persan for the title of in-form stayer in the state, but the latter proved too strong in the Bart Cummings as Lord Belvedere pulled up lame. He is fresh off a five-week layoff and draws to do no work in the run. If he gets a touch of luck when cornering, he should be fighting out the finish here.

Another galloper who was unlucky not to gain a start in the Melbourne Cup is Future Score. He went down by just over a length to Ashrun in the Lexus Stakes, where he was held up for a run in the early part of the straight and afforded the eventual winner the ability to go through the gears as he was just warming up. He raced on strongly when he saw daylight, but it was too late for him on that day. If he gets a bit more luck early on the straight here, there is no reason why he can’t be in the mix.

The only last-start winner in the Zipping Classic is Princess Jenni, who was too strong for a class runner in the Bendigo Cup three weeks ago. She didn’t look like slowing down when holding off Pondus, and now she meets a race that isn’t much harder than what she faced on that day. Five of her six wins have come when racing on Good surfaces, which is what she gets here, and considering she draws the rails, she will be in this for a long way.
