Expert Witness and Square Cut can pave the way. Very good race. BLACK ZOUS (3) is a super consistent galloper who was a winner two back then runner-up latest. Drops nicely in the weights with the claim and will go close. DELAGO LAD (1) is the main danger. Open class winner last time so coming back in grade but does jump sharply in the weights. Has the inside and will be tough to beat again. SQUARE CUT (2) scored last start at this track to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be thereabouts. ZESTIMAN (5) is a former South Australian and having first start this area. Best figures stack up. EXPERT WITNESS (4) has very good early speed and will give a sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Black Zous.
