Lloyd Williams is still hopeful of making an impact on the spring carnival despite his 2 Melbourne Cup hopes failing on Tuesday. His great old-timer Zipping has come out of his bold Cup effort in good nick and is likely to chase a fourth consecutive win in Sat week's Grp 2 Sandown Classic. The nine-year-old ran fourth for the third time in the Cup after running on well from 20th at the 400m. LW says: 'I've had two vets go right over him and there's nothing amiss physically so I'm hoping we can go to the Sandown Classic again, but I love this horse so if he's not 100 per cent then we'll just let him potter around and see if he wants to keep on racing next year.'
