Looking to Zeus, Nebraas and Crimson King as likely leaders in a keen contest early. ZEUS (1) is much better than his last two starts would suggest, He does have to overcome the widest draw but gets the services of Gavin Lerena who will give him all the necessary assistance needed from the saddle. On his best form shown, he should notch up his fourth-career victory. UNITED COUNCIL (6) stayed on well when finishing third last time. She should have no issues with the 3200m and should give the males a decent run for their money. BREEZE OVER (8) ran fourth of 13 last start at this track over 2850m when resuming from a spell. Has won second-up previously and rates highly. CRIMSON KING (3) is better than his last start run would suggest as he raced wide without cover around the turn. He has a good draw of four and if finding the form of his penultimate run he should be fighting out the finish.
