Itsukushima can be positive early. Competitive. ZAKU (7) threatened three times and then was a touch plainer at Ballarat. She has enough early pace to position forward and keeps the handy 3kg claim. Hard fit and looks a solid each-way play. ITSUKUSHIMA (1) seeks the hat trick for a leading metro yard and keeps improving. Maps for a soft run and is also a value hope. DE VENUS (4) was a dominant maiden winner over 1400m here last time out and the rise in trip doesn't appear an issue. Should be in the finish of this event if he can run up to what he did last time out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zaku gets the nod.
