Expecting Meanie to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. VENOM RUSH (5) will be rock-hard fit now fourth-up from the spell and gets some weight relief with the 1.5kg claim. In the mix. WORTHY (10) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and looks a must for the multiples. OPETAIA (3) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on. ZOUSLAYER (9) was much better last start in easier company when closing off nicely into second, only missing by a head. Is well placed again here and can play a major role. SUGGESTED PLAY: Venom Rush to win.
