Cracking tempo with Vexatious Dancer and Zebella leading the way. SUZIDO (10) has struck a purple patch of form and finds another winnable race. Will be utilising her draw and only needs to hold her form to be winning. ZEBELLA (5) returns and is a noted fresh performer. Boasts strong peaks and will appreciate Neindorf reuniting. Main danger. SUNZOU (9) also resumes and it's worth noting he went close here when first-up last campaign. Plenty of subsequent winners around him last prep and he's been readied for this with a nice hitout at Murray Bridge. Can return with a bang. COOL MAGNUM (4) usually takes a couple of runs to get going but he's proven more than capable on his day. Boasts a good record over this track and trip and is among the key chances. BALLON D'OR (6) is a tough one to catch but does have X-factor. Will be doing her best work late and can't be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Suzido to win again.
