Strong tempo with Zousinger, Pharoah's Daughter and Flux going forward ahead of Infinite Matrix and Auckland. MISS MAHJONG (5) just missed in a BM64 two back then wasn't far away in a richer BM70 latest. Comes back a couple of notches for this and placed only other try here. Drawn to feature. ZOUSINGER (3) has an honest record on firm footing and has won two of the last three. Winner here at the trip last time at first attempt and despite the tricky gate looks a top chance again. FOX KING DOX (2) did little on wet ground fresh then improved sharply this surface last time getting off the mark with the maiden win. Progressive type clearly needing this kind of surface and can measure up again. FLUX (7) is a locally trained galloper not far away recently. Tricky gate but best form is here at home and can give a sight at odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: The class drop suits Miss Mahjong.
