Strong pace from Expensive Taste and Hydrobomb matching motors with Grinzinger Heart close at hand. ZAMBALES (1) should be starting deep in the red here, bringing clearly the best form. Three runs to date have all been good, game behind an impressive winner here two back in the Talindert, one of the best runs in the G1 Blue Diamond when clearly looking for further. He gets that now, draws ideally for Zahra and should be taking care of these. DR HOOK (5) got back in the G2 Silver Slipper fresh and struggled. He could be a quick improver out to 1400m from an inside draw. HYDROBOMB (4) ran well behind Leopard Shark on debut, trying hard when challenged. He'll relish 1400m and maps well. DIAMETER (3) was solid fresh in the Talindert and can be working home late. LEOPARD SHARK (7) is up and running and has to be considered. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zambales to win.
