Group 3 placegetter RAISEAHALLELUJAH (2) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at this track two starts back then scored by 1.3 lengths as public elect last time out over 1m5f at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on current form he is capable of another big performance. EXPLOSIVE BOND (7) was unwanted in betting last start but performed beyond expectations when beaten 1.3 lengths into second over 1m5f at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Among the leading chances. Group 1 placegetter ZEUS (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m5f at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths into fifth. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. MAMBO COME TESIO (5) made some progress last start to finish fourth over 1m4f at Scottsville, beaten 1.2 lengths. Stepping up in distance this time and can feature without surprising.
