ZARROSE (6) started this prep with a win two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when third over 1m at Warwick Farm, beaten 3 lengths. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MAH ALI (7) was well held in the NJC Spring Stakes won by Genzano over 1m at Newcastle at her last appearance three months ago. Settles back early but winds up late. Leading contender. APOLLO MISSION (1) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by half a length over 1m at Gosford. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from five outings. Can feature again. LITTLE BAIA (9) is backing up a week after finishing sixth over 6¼f at this track. No surprise to see her back in form this time.
