Despite the small field Zatara Magic, Mhlabeni and Global Ally can set a decent tempo. ZATARA MAGIC (1) has good recent form lines to his credit. He finished second in his only attempt over this course and distance. Craig Zackey knows him well and the combination merit healthy respect. GLOBAL ALLY (4) progressed nicely last time out when finishing third of 12 over 1600m at this track when well supported. Well placed and has each-way claims. GIMME MORE TIME (7) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a seventh at this track over 1900m. Ideally placed here to finish in the money. ELECTRIC GOLD (2) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort an eighth over 2700m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot return to winning form.
