Verdict

ZETHEROS (5) is a lightly raced galloper who got off the mark last time with a fast-finishing win on heavy ground at Geelong. Has upside and can make it back-to-back wins. BLACKLIP (4) ran on well here last time to place behind Isdell in a much better run. Can go close again with a repeat. VALIDATED (1) was slow to begin here last time and was always well back but found the line strongly for fourth. Going better than form suggests. Aided by the claim and should be doing best work late. ANALYTICAL (6) lifted strongly when winning by half a length three runs back at Werribee and has a good draw today. Expecting a bold showing.
