Zedari to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. MR ROCK IT (2) is racing in genuine fashion in all three runs since resuming. Handles it wet and returns to home track a major player. HERB (4) hasn't been far away in recent runs and has proven form on heavy tracks. Senior rider and a soft draw make him a big threat on home patch. YOUR NOT THE BOSS (9) made sharp progress last time in work and has a wet track win to his name previously. Market watch advised with a senior rider on. BIG APPLE (1) has a handy fresh record and resumes in what looks a suitable grade. Drawn to get a gun run at a pet trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mr Rock It each-way.
