Despite the small field Firealley, Nelson Bay and Zinovi will set a genuine tempo. ZINOVI (1) is in great for this campaign winning two of three runs. First try here but is a four time winner at the mile and leading rider stays aboard. FIREALLEY (2) bounced back last start and landed the prize by half a length as favourite over 2000m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. NELSON BAY (4) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at Fairview, beaten 2 lengths. Worth noting Craig Zackey goes aboard. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. GLOBAL STATE (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Fairview, beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
