ZOUHOPE (9) ran below his best last start when beaten 2.25 lengths into fifth from a wide draw over this course and distance after meeting with market support. Among the leading chances. PRINCE AKEEM (7) rallied in the concluding stages to score by 0.8 lengths last time out over 7f at this track at the second run this prep. No reason he cannot make it two on end. VICTORY BAY (2) didn't fire over 7½f at Mckinlay last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. MOKTAFFY (4) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 6f at this track when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 1.5 lengths. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat.
