Solid tempo anticipated with Figlio D'argento leading the way. ZAKOUMA (8) has always promised a good level of ability and resumed with an impressive win first up at Caulfield Heath in a Class 1, charging home from back in the field to go on and score by 2.25 lengths. He's drawn very wide here which isn't ideal but 1800m will suit and he can prove too strong late once more. TIME ALLOWED (7) also draws wide having placed in both runs back. He might look to push on and hold a spot here, 1800m looks ideal third up. FIGLIO D'ARGENTO (4) is the one with map favours, drawn in and likely to settle on speed. He'll take catching, as could SAVISANTA (12) who struggled second up off an easy fresh win. He can bounce back. LARIO (10) is going well without winning and has each-way claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zakouma to win.
