DHAULAGIRI (11) turned in a much better run last start when he scored by 8 metres over 2230m at Globe Derby Park. No favours expected from this draw. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role again. HEZA PUNK ROCKER (5) ran fourth last start at Gawler over 2550m, beaten 2.75 metres. Expect him to be prominent. BETTERZIPPIT (9) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a neck at Gawler over 2550m. PEACE OF HEAVEN (3) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at Globe Derby Park over 2230m.
