Our resident form analyst Nic Ashman is tipping the favourite to get the job done in the Listed Spear Chief Handicap at Eagle Farm as he shoots for three consecutive winning Saturdays.
Eagle Farm R7 N12 KING ZEPHYR
“Fourth-up and won his only run this stage of prep,” Ashman said.
“Was a victim of the poor MRC tracks last time out – track came up Soft 7 which caught the trainer surprised. Not to mention he got held up at the top of the straight.
“Drier track here and nicely weighted on 56kg. Short enough so we’ll go TopFluc.”
The top price around for KING ZEPHYR as of Friday afternoon was $2.50.
Last week Nic tipped SIMURGH who overcame some obstacles to win at Caulfield.
Nic’s tips are striking at 50% since the beginning of 2024 with 40 collects from 80 selections.
