Any Questions and Pressiaire look to take it up.
ZORKO (4) settled midfield then worked home well but was never a threat first-up over 1400m at Taree. Lightly raced three-year-old in a pretty modest maiden today. Has enough improvement up his sleeve to fully test this lot. PRESSIAIRE (13) was close enough when they cornered but lacked a change of gears when a well-held fifth over 1280m at Muswellbrook last time out. Backs up eight days later over a more suitable trip so can improve sharply. ANY QUESTIONS (3) found the front at the top of the lane and tried hard but was swamped at the end of 1300m at Scone recently. Going okay deep into the maiden prep - appeals on an each-way basis. LUNA CRUISER (8) finished alongside Any Questions when fresh from a spell at Scone last start. Yet to salute in 24 starts which is alarming. PRATIBHA (12) disappointed over this distance at Muswellbrook last time but deserves another chance in this thin race. SUGGESTED PLAY: This looks a nice race for Zorko.
