Strong tempo, primarily from No Statement and Just Awesome. Tough way to end the day. ZOCKETMAN (6) talented colt who won at his first two starts in good order on the country and provincial tracks. Sent to town and bled in both nostrils when seventh over 1200m at Rosehill in BM68 class last November. Returns with the two good trials and the tongue-tie goes on. Stalks the good tempo and can return in winning form. PLAY MY SONG (9) back in trip in a fairly strong contest when warmed up late to finish fifth over 900m at Muswellbrook. Gets in light again with Small's claim and will prove hard to hold out. JUST AWESOME (4) speedy colt starting to put it all together. Took control early with a gritty victory over 1000m at Kembla Grange. Tougher map today but stays in the mix. ARE EE QUE (7) fourth-up for this and due for a change of luck with the good tempo. Kept fresh again after battling to the line when sixth over 1000m at Wyong. Quickly running out of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zocketman looks primed for this.
