Verdict

Interesting race. ZAHRANN (1) was scratched from the Golden Mile at Bendigo and comes here a couple of weeks later instead. He was last seen starting $6.50 in a G1 Irish Champion Stakes when down the track to Delacroix who was a world-class galloper. This is very winnable if he's right to go. MISS PLAYLOUNGE (10) was a surprise winner of the Gold Bracelet at Bendigo last start but just gets in so well here, dropping 11lbs after beating them fair and square. A repeat of that performance at these weights would just about see her win again. WONDER BOY (4) was very good in the Golden Mile when just nosed out by Von Hauke. With even luck from the inside gate he'll go close. OH TOO GOOD (3) was second to Miss Playlounge last time and meets her 4.11lbs worse off but up to a mile can suit.
