ZAKOUMA (2) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at his second outing when in the firing line on the corner, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1m at Sandown-Hillside. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. INTHELAPOFTHEGODS (1) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just a long neck away in second over 1m2f at Wangaratta after being in the firing line all the way. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BRASADA (3) settled well back then made some inroads and finished 3 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1m at Swan Hill a week ago. Steps up in journey. Backmarker who keeps coming. Among the main hopes. MULETA (4) produced a reasonable effort when second last start over 1m2 3/4f at Goulburn. That followed a win at Sapphire Coast the start prior. Nicely placed to figure in the finish.
