ZALE (3) is yet to break through after nine starts. Placed in a then last time out was fifth, beaten 6 lengths, over 6f at Kembla Grange. Backmarker who gets home hard. Overdue and looks a great chance to open winning account. STALLONE (6) settled in the leading division on debut last start but wilted close to home and finished fifth, beaten 3 lengths, over 7f at Kembla Grange. Open to sharp improvement and can get off the mark this time. SCISSOR ME TIMBERS (1) is yet to break through after five starts but not far off a win. Placed in a then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 6½f at Hawkesbury. Has a strong finish. Shapes well and is among the main hopes. SKIP A BEAT (2) pushed forward from a wide draw last time out and was prominent for a long way before fading to finish fifth over 6½f at Hawkesbury. Cannot be underestimated.
