---|---|---|---|---|
Moderate tempo with Mirzann leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. ZONDEE (7) has been freshened up since a strong effort to be beaten by just a length in a BM78 won by Firestorm over 1500m at Rosehill a month ago. Drops 4kgs today and reunites with Tyler Schiller who is 2/2 aboard the four-year-old. TIME QUEST (2) returned from an eight-week break with an unflattering performance over 1400m at Rosehill last start. Came from last to win the Coffs Harbour Cup over this trip the run prior. Strips fitter and can turn things around. JAMBEROO (8) has not raced since he led but found one better over 1800m at Bathurst a month ago. Goes well with the runs spaced. Major player down in the weights. TAVI TIME (1) gave away a huge start but made late inroads when resuming over 1400m at Rosehill recently. Strong second-up performer with three wins from four tries at the mile. Sure to run a big race. KOKORO (10) will be better for his first-up run here three weeks ago and is in the mix down on the limit. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zondee is perfectly placed to score.
