Mr Zigmund should lead and dictate terms. HANAFUBUKI (3) is knocking on the door, finishing in the first three at her past three starts. Will be hard fit coming back from 3000m last time and should take beating again. MERCANTE (2) was a narrow winner here over 2550m two back before struggling at Bendigo when in the market. Needs to find best but does map well. GYPSY COVE (4) is coming off an easy maiden win here last time out and may be able to go on with it. BIT OF OZ (5) perhaps next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hanafubuki to win.
