Genuine pace with Lucky Fortuna taking up the running ahead of River Frost and Mougenot. Plenty of win chances. ZESTIMAN (6) made debut for the new yard with a near miss here a fortnight ago and can only be improved. Drawn the fence and can go one better. LUCKY FORTUNA (10) is having first try this area but has been in great form in South Australia. Looks well placed and expected to feature. BAHAMA BAY (1) was runner-up here before a break following a good campaign and does go well fresh. Low draw and should feature. RIVER FROST (4) resumed from a long spell with a huge win here in easier. Fitter again and among the chances. GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS (9) is a former Victorian who is best know as a middle distance galloper but will appreciate this class and does run well when fresh. Keep very safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Zestiman.
