Pace on from the outset with Ziryab and General Assembly pushing forward. Open race. SPLASH BACK (12) is a progressive mare who won well first-up and backed it up with a strong placing in a handy BM78 behind Legacies over this trip last time out. Open to further improvement and can take this out. FURIOUS (3) should relish getting to this trip now having been very good in two runs back over shorter. He's always promised a bit and looks to find a nice race here. AMLETO (9) is a UK import with Ciaron Maher who was solid at his Australian debut at Yarra Valley. Fitter for that and can improve. OUR EMPRESS ZOE (15) should be ready to peak now third-up with Shinn going on. ZIRYAB (2) won at his Australian debut and can measure right up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Splash Back on top.
