Dalby gears up for races
Zip To The Moon eyes off big pay day
RACING: Zip To The Moon can put himself in the feature spotlight when he looks to add to his impressive Dalby race record today.
Zip To The Moon gets the chance to chase a $64,000 pay day when he tackles this afternoon’s Windsor All Rounders RQ Summer Provincial Series Heat (1200m) at Bunya Park.
The six-year-old is one of two runners for Toowoomba trainer Matt Kropp in the $20,000 Benchmark 75 Handicap which highlights today’s seven-race Dalby & Northern Downs Jockey Club TAB program.
Kropp also lines up with Atouchmore who resumes this afternoon from a five-month break.
Today’s event is the fifth of six heats in this year’s Summer Provincial Series.
The leading heat point scorers qualify for the $100,000 series final over 1350m at Doomben on December 30.
Zip To The Moon has notched three wins and two second placings from his five Bunya Park starts including one over today’s 1200m trip.
At his latest outing on November 25 he downed stablemate Marksfield in a Dalby Open Handicap over 1200m.
Zip To The Moon will be ridden today by 3kg claimer Hannah Phillips.
Toughest for Zip To The Moon to beat includes Saipan for Toowoomba trainer Ben Currie.
Saipan is the winner of eight races and has his first Bunya Park start today.
Apprentice Baylee Nothdurft will claim 2kg aboard the 62.5kg top weight.
