A solid tempo is anticipated with Aseventy Seven and Champagne Jenni kicking up to hold out the next wave. YAMATO SATONA (3) is one of the more interesting runners at the meeting, having his first start in Aus after coming from NZ. Was G2-placed over 2000m over there and won his maiden at 1400m, so 1600m here looks perfect off a nice recent Caulfield trial. ZORRO'S FLIGHT (4) is racing well, scoring two back at this track before finishing 2 lengths from the winner in second last time over 1400m at Mildura. Sure to go well. NEARING LIBERTY (2) finished 8 lengths adrift in 10th last time at Sandown in a disappointing performance. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. RASP (1) has had a productive prep, winning three times, the past two on Heavy ground so if he strikes those kind of conditions again he's a major player. CEREMONIOUS (6) was safely held when 12th last time out over 2125m at Sandown-Lakeside, beaten 6 lengths, after a win at Geelong at the previous outing. Likely improver with top-three prospects. SUGGESTED PLAY: Yamato Satona each way.
