Plenty of pace with Poptronic and Adelaide River leading from Just Fine. VRC Oaks winner ZARDOZI (10) gave a good account of herself when resuming with a tough sixth over 1400m in the G1 Winx Stakes here on August 24. Has a dynamite second-up record and looks set for a promising spring campaign. Group 1 placegetter BUCKAROO (1) was allowed to drift back early when resuming before hitting the line late when eighth behind Via Sistina over 1400m at this track at latest. Strips fitter now and no surprise to see him settle a little closer. Big improver. Multiple Group 1 placegetter ADELAIDE RIVER (4) returns for his second Australian prep after failing to live up to expectations last time in. Dropped out sharply when tenth at Eagle Farm in the G2 Q22 WFA over 2200m on June 15. Fitted with a slick 1250m trial win and stays in the calculations. Group 1 winner HINGED (9) hasn't won in two-and-a-half years but always gives her all. Charged late on resumption when a close-up seventh over 1400m at Rosehill on August 17. Can surprise. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zardozi to win.
