OVERVIEW: The major question in this top class trotting event is whether ALDEBRAN ZEUS (6) will be rifled off the gate fresh-up in his first crack against older opposition. If he is, and he probably should be based on his freakish recent trial win against the pacers, then he’s very near the best bet all night. If he is to be humbled then RULES DONT APPLY (5) who is also fresh but trialled the house down at Bendigo recently looms as the obvious stumbling block. For established class the knockout runner is SUNDONS COURAGE (10) though plenty of others headed by the vastly improved SHEZA PLEASURE (2) can easily bob up if ALDEBARN ZEUS (6) doesn’t dominate from the word go.
