Strong tempo with Aeternum, Mashean and I Am Gone leading the charge. ZAVEGA (6) saves her best form for this sprint journey winning three from three and is drawn to get a gun run from the low draw. Gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claim and is good enough to take this out. I AM GONE (2) has been just behind the placegetters at the past couple but the form prior was full of merit. Has to be included in calculations. AETERNUM (1) doesn't have the best winning strike rate but hasn't been too far away of late and rates a top-three contender on best figures. IT'S KAOS (3) broke the maiden status last time and will have come on with that win now in the locker. Can go back-to-back. MASHEAN (4) next in line in an open race to close out the card. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Zavega.
