Genuine tempo with Zarastro leading the way. Open race for the G3 feature. IT'SOURTIME (2) loves this track and trip as a G3 winner and was back to his best last start in the Listed Santa Ana Lane Final, running on strongly to score by 1.3 lengths. Stays on the same weight and draws to effect. ZARASTRO (1) comes down from Queensland off a very strong win in the G3 Wj Healy Stakes at Eagle Farm. He's a free-running horse who will give a huge sight. THE ASTROLOGIST (3) needs another win but gets down in the weights now and should be right there. RIGHT TO PARTY (8) is in great form, winning the Creswick here last time out. It was in slower time than It'sourtime but she gets in on the minimum and has a very good turn of foot. NICOLINI VITO (4) should run his honest race. SUGGESTED PLAY: It'sourtime to win.
