Green Moon and Sea Moon can deliver Team Williams another Zipping Classic as the class runners of Saturday’s Group 2 feature.

A field of nine will contest the Zipping Classic which returns to Sandown after the 2013 renewal won by Sertorius was held at Caulfield.

Beforehand, Team Williams had won five of the past six renewals of the contest courtesy of Tanby in 2012 and Zipping in four years between 2007 and 2010.

Team Williams will be hoping to continue their dominance in the event with Green Moon and Sea Moon representing the stable.

The pair have been lightly-raced through the spring and shape as the class runners of the event.

Both Green Moon and Sea Moon come out of the Caulfield Cup and will be much better suited under weight-for-age conditions.

Prince Of Penzance backs up after running second in the Queen Elizabeth and will be reunited with Michelle Payne who is back from a suspension.

Au Revoir contests the event after a brave eighth in the Melbourne Cup.

David Hayes and Tom Dabernig will saddle up two runners spearheaded by Spillway.

The Rail Link entire was closing well to claim fourth in the Mackinnon Stakes last start.

Stablemate Rawnaq will be on a quick turnaround after a midfield seventh at Flemington last Saturday in a Ratings 90 event.

The Hayes-Dabernig stable will be well represented throughout the feature events across the nine race program at Sandown.

Promising colt Petrology will look to claim consecutive stakes successes in the Sandown Guineas (1600m) while Fast ‘n’ Rocking can continue his strong form since being gelded in the Kevin Heffernan Stakes (1300m).
