Plenty of pace with Zamparini Spirit and Kings Domain up front, pressured by Fabulous Fiano and Downtherabbithole. KINGS DOMAIN (7) has placed in both starts to date and looks well placed to break through. He stuck on well for second when last seen at Wangaratta and can improve again. This looks winnable and the bigger track can suit nicely. CERTAINLY QUIET (12) was just fair fresh at Kilmore when in the market over 1450m, looking in need of more ground which she gets here. Expect improvement. ZAMPARINI SPIRIT (3) is going well, the placing two back behind Mystery 'N' Drama reading particularly well. He's had a few chances but should be right there. FABULOUS FIANO (6) resumes. He showed some ability last time in and this is a good trip to resume over. ACCIDENTAL BID (4) is an import having his first run for the Maher yard. Very wary for the sharp connections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kings Domain to win.
