SOUND BIDDING FOR HIS THIRD ZIPPING CLASSIC TODAY

A busy day for us at Caulfield with five runners, headed by Chapada and Sound in the feature Zipping Classic.

Sound (pictured) finds his best form in late spring and on Saturday attempts a third Zipping Classic win.

Sound finished ninth in the Caulfield Cup last month before running fourth in the Queens Cup (2600m) at Flemington last time out on November 5.

“I’m happy with him, he’s nice and bright and in good order,” Mike said.

"I don't think he's going any worse than last year, but he's got to jump away, which he did last start."

Mike Moroney is convinced Chapada has a good win in him but admits he is running out of patience with the seven-year-old who disappointed when fifth last start in the Archer Stakes (2500m) at Flemington on October 29.

"He worked up on Tuesday like a Group 1 horse," Moroney said.

"We've done all the tests, and nothing shows up. We've done a dynamic scope, thinking it might be wind, but it's not, we've had heart monitors on him, and we can't find anything abnormal there.

"So, we're hoping it's just the ground and if it's just the ground, he can win today."

Zipping won the then Sandown Classic on four occasions from 2007 to 2010 and while Moroney has not ruled out another shot for Sound in 12 months' time, he doubts it will be on the entire's agenda.

Milford runs in the Eclipse Stakes over 1800 metres with Blake Shinn aboard.

“He’s going well and I think the key to him is the good track,” Mike said.

“He’s won around Caulfield and if he can bring his Easter Cup form then I think he is the horse they all have to beat.”

Poland and Swords Drawn start our day with both in the Kevin Heffernan Stakes over 1400 metres.

“I thought it was a much better effort from Poland last start and he’s trained on nicely since,” Mike said. “He looks well, his work has been good, the outside draw is not ideal but otherwise he’s in good order and he’s up to winning it.”

Swords Drawn has his first start for the stable with Jamie Mott aboard.

“He looks particularly well and has trialled up well,” Mike said. “It’s not his right trip today but it’s a good starting point for him and I’ll be looking for him to be finishing off.”
