Not much early speed on paper and Raging Waters is the most likely leader. A weak maiden. WANNABE ZIGGY (10) is third up and has more upside than most of these. He maps well and is at his best over this longer distance. She looks the one to beat. WARRIORA (11) didn't have the best of it early last time, and it was a good effort beaten less than 2L. She will be fitter and has upside. She'll finish hard over the longer sprint. Stablemate PLAYED STRONG (6) was only beaten 2L here second up in his first show of form since the shift from the NSW stable. He was at long odds, but he draws well and may go on with it now. FINAL APPROACH (2) resumes owning two trial placings and is likely to come back improved. Darmanin's booking suggests that it will be the case. RAGING WATERS (3) could win this at best and expect improvement coming back from two outings on the synthetic. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Wannabe Ziggy.
