Strong tempo assured from Regal Zeus and Pride Of Jenni leading the charge. Easily the most fascinating race on the card. Not many would've predicted PRIDE OF JENNI (1) turning up in this sort of race. She's a three-time Group 1 winner in a Listed Quality race, with between 20-52 official handicap points between her and her rivals. The return win from a brief retirement was very good, albeit ridden perfectly without any pressure, before really struggling in the Australian Cup. Obviously the 61kg is hefty but on class and ratings she should be giving them more, it's just where she's at in her career. Could win easily or be well beaten, inclined to the former. REGAL ZEUS (2) is flying. Quickly to this trip last time but was too strong. Looks the main danger. HELLSING (5) won well last time and can be strong late. QUICKSTER (7) might be an improver at big odds. She's got ability on her day. POUNDING (3) should be ready to peak third up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pride Of Jenni to win.
