RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ZENARIO (10) is a progressive pacer from the McNaulty stable who resumed with a runner-up placing behind KOSIMO (12) at Melton on April 10. That was a funny-run race with Jilliby Illuminate tearing along in front, and KOSIMO (12) was able to enjoy a peg-line run before being presented at the right time by Jack Laugher. I fancy ZENARIO (10) can turn the tables here from the nice trailing draw and should be ready to fire second-up from a break. KOSIMO (12) is an opportunist who needs the speed on in his races but is suited to this grade, HITTHEROADJACK (9) is an honest customer who was only beaten 7.2m in a fast Geelong Rocket last Friday and TALERN LOFTY (3) looks a talented type from the David Miles yard who was held up at Cranbourne last time but had good form prior and might be aggressively driven for the front here. Other chances are headed by CRIME WRITER (8) and DESSIE GEE (11), who bring some class off the back row.
