Verdict

LADY ZODIAC (4) was runner up in a genuine race last start and the 3 week break between runs appeals. With an all-options alley can win. INOUE (1) will look to go back-to-back after a strong maiden win first up. Upside type right in this. KING'S SECRET (2) is a last start winner and a soft track holds no fears. Capable of more of the same. RUNRANIRUN (6) got run over late last start but first-up run was genuine. Capable of better despite a poor draw.
