Expecting The Big One to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. ZANGIEF (2) made it back-to-back wins when scoring by 0.6L over this course and distance 13 days ago in this grade. This looks a similar set up today and he only rises 1.5kg for the win. Chris Parnham takes the ride this time and he looks set to bring up the hat-trick. STORM LEADER (6) finished 0.9L behind Zangief last time out and meets him better at the weights today. Bar Plates go on his front feet which is a slight niggle, but he rates well off the latest effort. Wouldn't surprise to see him go one better this time around despite the sticky draw. GOLD KEEPER (5) was strong first-up over this track and trip and boasts a strong second-up record. Wide draw is a little niggle, but if he has improvement to come from the fresh effort he'll take plenty of beating. THE BIG ONE (7) steps out in trip second-up and has placed 4/4 at this stage of the campaign. Include. ECSTASY OF GOLD (8) may find this on the sharp inside but she has plenty of class. Must be kept safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zangief can bring up the hat-trick.
