Verdict

ZEMOREYA (4) is well-positioned to perform third-up after a solid fourth in a BM55 here, where he started slowly and was blocked in the straight, finishing just a length and a half away. He won at this track before and handles soft ground, but the 6f distance raises concerns rather than his overall form. CERETTI (6) poses a real threat after a strong win at Bowen and a fourth-place finish as a popular favorite in a BM55 here. With the winning rider back and a helpful claim, her Bowen victory shows she's competitive. ZIGGY STARCRAFT (7) resumes from a Townsville trial win, and the first-time visor is intriguing. He has solid Victorian form on heavy tracks with BM56 and BM62 references, suggesting he could improve fresh. OCTOPOLIS (12) was placed first-up at Bowen, has a strong 6f profile and receives weight relief, but steps up from picnic grade to a tougher race.
