REGAL ZEUS (6) showed good early speed and led throughout to score by a head last start over 1m at this track. Daniel Stackhouse who has four wins when partnering stays on. Should be in the finish. VERDAD (9) hasn't been far away recently including last time out when second over 7f at Sandown-Hillside. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Leading contender. FREAK OF NATURE (5) is a six-time winner who has been racing well, scoring by a long neck last time out over 7f at Sandown-Hillside. Has a strong record at this journey and should be thereabouts. MARBLE ARCH (4) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 0.8 lengths over 6¼f at Morphettville Parks. Will be better for that latest run and is worth following up.
