Zeta Hedge has the speed to cross and lead. BUNTA BABY (11) dropped back to this track and trip and didn't have much luck at the start, ending up a long way back before flashing for second behind a smart one. Buick replaces the apprentice hoop and he should be able to sit closer with a cleaner break this time. Can go one better. SUPER SIXTY (2) was held up at a crucial stage here last start when beaten just 1.5L as the race favourite. The wider draw this time is a query, though he does have some early speed and Moreira and Fownes strike at 20% when they team up. Can stay out of trouble this time and land the knockout blow. CAP LINER (6) comes to this track and trip for the first time after some solid come-from-behind efforts down the Sha Tin Straight to begin his career. The Cheekpieces going on should spark him up early and if he can take closer order under Barzalona, then he'll go close to winning. ZETA HEDGE (5) was strong from the front here on debut as a $23 chance. Rates highly on that effort and looks a key player.
