Solid tempo with Steely Hustler leading from Black Adam and Reward With A Rose. ZENACITY (13) is also going well. Has been runner-up at both runs this time in and looks ideally placed to go one better. STEELY HUSTLER (12) was a 1300m winner two back then was disappointing over further last time. Freshened for this and back a furlong. Can return to best. RICH LOVER (5) turned in a nice run fresh when fifth and close to the winner. Fitter and extra trip a plus. Looks a big improver. NATIVE LEAF (7) also ran well at the latest when coming from the tail. Should be winding up strongly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Zenacity.
