Plenty of speed from Zatanna and Tarps. HIDDEN MELODY (2) brings a win here on the turf and a 1L defeat at Ipswich following that. Ran well there and not beat far after working hard in the run right the way around. Gets in well with the 3kg claim and a softer run can see her back winning. Main danger can be ZATANNA (5). She has been a touch plain at her last two on turf but was an easy winner here prior. The speedy galloper draws inside and can get back on track. I AM VOODOO (1) turned up at good prices last time and ran a much better race on the all weather track. It clearly suits and he can run well again today. Doubt we will see any double figure odds this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Hidden Melody.
