Passeggiata should find the front with Zealously and Miss Icelandic on her heels. ZEALOUSLY (1) consistent gelding going nicely through his grades. Finished fourth to Private Harry two back, before resuming with a fighting on pace second over 1000m at Warwick Farm in this class. Winning apprentice back aboard and looks hard to stop. PASSEGGIATA (6) speedy mare who resumes with excellent fresh figures. Has impressed in two sharp barrier trial wins and will give a ton of cheek from the inside draw. EXTRAVAGENT LAD (3) has a dynamite fresh record and justified the good support when a decisive winner over 1000m at Orange in fast time. Big drop in weight today and goes just as well second up. Leading prospect. MISS ICELANDIC (2) Mornington-trained mare with a good record over the 1000m. Given the two good jump outs and raced well in this class in the past. Value prospect. IRON HAT (9) gets in very light with Roper's claim and adds value to the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zealously to salute.
