Sizzling pace from the outset from Regal Zeus and Piaggio locking horns ahead of Garachico. Keen to see FEDERER (11) in town with the son of Caulfield Cup winner Jameka looking very good in two wins to date, bolting in by six lengths last time off a strong pace. Skips a grade or two here and will get over plenty more ground in time but can measure up strongly. NAILS MURPHY (2) broke through last start off a string of consistent placings, winning by a length in a BM84. No reason he can't go on with it. LE ZEBRA (5) has bee okay in two runs since a dominant Flemington win and could be an improver. REGAL ZEUS (4) continues to race very well and is in the each-way mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Federer on top.
