Abundant early pace from the speedy trio of Sosino, Regal Zeus and Aramco. Tricky race. LE ZEBRA (8) was dominant winning by five lengths two starts ago at Flemington before a close up fourth to a flying Rise At Dawn last time. Stays down in the weights here and can take catching. ARAMCO (1) won well at Randwick two back before tackling a stronger race there, finishing fourth as an even money favourite. Will be hard to beat. KETTLE HILL (2) ran a much better race at Caulfield last time out when second to Rise At Dawn. Has strong claims off that. NAILS MURPHY (10) is knocking on the door and will be hard to hold out. No knocks on REGAL ZEUS (9) in a wide open affair. SUGGESTED PLAY: Le Zebra on top.
