Zouking should spear straight to the front of the small field. ZOUKING (3) sharp type who resumes from a lengthy break. Tired late from the wide gate on debut when a solid third over 900m at Muswellbrook ten months ago. Finished second in his only trial over 800m at Gosford. Finds a winnable contest to shed his Maiden status. LOVE YOU ANYWAY (7) massive form reversal fourth-up when a narrow third over 900m at Newcastle. Gets map favours again and expected to go close. ADORE YOU (6) first run for the new yard raced without luck when a fading seventh over 1000m at Hawkesbury. Finds a very weak contest and capable of a better showing. DREAM A LITTLE (9) stripped fitter second-up when a plugging second over 1000m at this course. Senior rider goes on and gets map favours. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zouking can return a winner.
