Hot tempo expected from Passeggiata and Spanish Fox. Three-year-old ZEALOUSLY (6) raced wide without cover and did a good job to hang on for third behind last start over 1000m at Randwick. Well placed on the back of that effort and should enjoy a lovely run in transit behind a hot tempo. Looks ready to win at the third run back. SHARP SHOCK (12) is back in trip after failing in the 1400m Tamworth Cup recently. Loves this track and trip - just needs luck from a wide draw to run a big race at huge odds. PASSEGGIATA (16) led and just failed to hold on when resuming at Randwick last time. Goes well second-up so she should be hard to reel in again. SPANISH FOX (2) did a reasonable job first-up on a heavy Hawkesbury circuit. Knows how to win so the early price is generous. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zealously on top but there is a stack of chances.
