Expecting Deion to take up the running with Castlebar Road and Zoutastic close at hand. DEION (6) consistent gelding ready to win. Big drop in weight with the claim after running third over 1200m at Warren in an easier race. Will go forward and prove hard to catch. MISS JENNIFER (2) raced without luck all prep and ready to win. Snagged back from the draw when a respectable sixth over 1175m at Grafton. Can race a little closer and play a leading role. ZOUTASTIC (10) progressive mare who deserves her shot in this stronger race. Bounced off her good first up run with a slick victory over 1100m at Grafton. Will be in this for a long way. SHIPSHAPE (9) has tackled Highway grade his past couple and hasn't been disgraced. Can feature with the job in grade. SUGGESTED PLAY: Deion will prove hard to stop at the weights.
