Hustler draws well in Zipping

[Wandering Eyes]

Grahame Begg’s She’s A Hustler (NZ) (Ace High) has received the ideal draw of three in Saturday’s Group 2 Zipping Classic, after a field of 14 accepted for the Caulfield race.

The daughter of Ace High, who was narrowly defeated in the G2 Matriarch Stakes in her most recent start, is yet to miss the top two in 10 career runs but is racing at Caulfield for the first time, making the good draw even better.

Alalcance, who ran well into third behind She’s A Hustler in the Matriarch, will jump from next to her in gate four, with that pair the only mares in the race.

Of the boys, Etna Rosso (Decorated Knight) (eight) brings good form having been third on varying surfaces in his past two starts, while Berkshire Breeze (Mastercraftsman) (seven) was most recently a solid fourth in the G2 Moonee Valley Gold Cup.

The latter is joined by four stablemates from the Ciaron Maher yard – Light Infantry Man (Fast Company) (nine), Smokin’ Romans (NZ) (Ghibellines) (14), Interpretation (Galileo) (1) and Strawberry Rock (Rock of Gibraltar) (10).
