Strong early tempo with Zenti and Castlebar Road leading the way. DUROVA (6) resumes and has switched from one of the nation's premier stables. She's raced well in much stronger contests and has won fresh and over this distance. Cahill's booking is a strong push for her chances and on song she'll have them covered. MIDNIGHT DREAM (4) peaks and seeks the hat-trick off a 66 win here. He gives away starts which makes his efforts all the more impressive. He'll be in the finish with average luck. ZENTI (5) is a leader who resumed further improved in a Tamworth 66 over this distance but has disappointed the two since over longer sprints. Likely has excuses the latest and he gets plenty of weight relief. Comes back to 1000m and expect him to be a player. CASTLEBAR ROAD (2) has been freshened since his narrow defeat here in better class and has been kept up to the mark with a Bathurst trial win. Hard fit now and the 3kg claim brings him into it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Durova if the betting suggests stable confidence.
