Metropolitan chasing makes its historic debut at Gosford this Saturday, October 24th, with our best bets locked in.
WIRED TO WIN (5) stormed home from box 8 to win narrowly over 450m at Maitland last start, and faces the same draw again here.
The Jason Mackay-trained dog won over 450m two starts ago in 25.09, clocking the best time of the night, with a 7.79 first split.
Three starts back, he won over 400m by 7.75 lengths and registered the best time of the night in 22.23.
The rise in distance for the first time shouldn’t pose a problem given how strongly he finishes.
| 8. Wired To Win (8) 4×111 |
ZIPPING MOONEY (5) found the line strongly over 622m at Richmond last start, just failing to run down the leader and finishing second by half a length.
The Courtney Barnes-trained bitch has a class edge over these rivals and should appreciate the drop in grade.
She won over 520m at Richmond in a similar grade last month, scoring by three lengths.
From the good draw in box 2, she should settle among the first few and get her chance to win.

HELLO PECK (5) is chasing a fifth straight win after an impressive 3.75-length victory in the Young Stars Final at Wentworth Park last start.
The Natina Howard-trained dog clocked 29.23, the best time of the night.
Two starts ago, he also won over 520m at Wentworth Park, scoring by 4.75 lengths in 29.33.
From box 1, he should get on the arm and has the chance to lead all the way.

EXORBITANT (5) brings an excellent record at Gosford and this distance, highlighted by his win in the Gosford Gold Mine Final.
He has consistently run quick times here, with a best of 29.23 seconds.
The Natina Howard-trained dog can muster speed quickly and put himself in a strong position early.
That combination of track-and-distance form and early pace gives him a clear chance to win.
