Genuine tempo with Zeema leading the way. ZEEMA (4) finds a weak line-up and is the one to beat. Led and just missed here two back and then found one better at Cowra over shorter. The speedy mare can control the race and will be tough to peg back. PROPHET TIME (2) has been racing in tougher grade and measure her prospects on her 58 win at Parkes this trip three back. That would see her right in the finish and she has the tongue tie on again. SESTO (3) is a local who will be sharper second-up back a few levels in grade. He will race forward and has to be kept onside. CALL ME ARTIE (1) will race over further, but the veteran is worth a look first-up with a 3kg claimer aboard. He'll be finishing it off. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zeema to win.
