|---|---|---|---|---|

A solid tempo is on the cards with Zayyano and Fabulous Fiano pushing for the lead ahead of No Woman No Cry and Trango Towers. NO WOMAN NO CRY (5) turned in a sound effort when up sharply in trip for a fast-finishing third over 1700m at this track. Finds a very average Maiden and can get the job done at start seven. ZAYYANO (9) drops in weight for this with the 3kg claimer on after he gripped on late to finish fourth over 1600m at Gatton. Has his share of talent and has genuine winning claims. ESTHER MARY (11) staying bred mare who strips fitter after returning from a lengthy break. Found the 1350m too short first-up with a battling ninth over 1350m at Ipswich. Should progress from that outing and poses a genuine threat from the low gate. ANTONUCCI (10) taken back from the wide draw and never got into the contest when seventh over 1410m here. Extra trip in her favour with the claim. Improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,9,11,10.
