In a race without an obvious leader, either Apache Command or Zous Apollo can roll them along. ZOUS APOLLO (12) was a beaten favourite fresh up in a small, modest field at Port Macquarie and was possibly undone by the heavy track. The field has more depth, but he can make amends, so follow your money. WHOOPI DO (5) resumes from a spell for a new trainer, and she gets in light fresh-up after a 3kg claim. Keep an eye out for any market confidence. UNALIENABLE RIGHT (3) showed a glimpse of talent in this initial campaign, and he resumes from a spell that would have done him the world of good. He won a recent trial and should be ready to rumble fresh. HEART OF JENNI (9) makes her debut and will have the services of Ash Morgan in the saddle. Keep her safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zous Apollo can win this.
