Verdict

ALDEBARAN ZANE (7) produced another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to place at Kilmore. Came from wider than this when runner-up here prior. Finds a winnable assignment. DESIRING DIAMONDS (6) has been tackling the better three-year-olds of late. Has had more than six weeks off but was runner-up in a recent trial here. This suits. PRINCESS DU FER (8) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when third at this circuit and distance. Draws wider but must be included. TRIUMPH STRIDE (2) has changed yards since last seen Group 3 level two years ago. Readied with a series of trial so watch the betting.
