AU - Moe - Race 1

Looks a good race for RUSKANA (3) who is overdue for a maiden win. Has placed 3/6 so far - all in NSW - and switches south for this. All three minors have been in slow going. Trip suits and expected to go close. KING TAGALOA (2) gave a sight fresh over a mile then was sixth the same trip last time. Fitter and looks suited by the extra ground now. Ready to win and worth following up. ZAREENEE (9) has more upside than most, placing at third career run over further last time on the synthetic at Pakenham. Struggled the start prior on the heavy ground but will be fitter and can measure up this time. WYNDSTAR (4) gave a sight over 1 ?m at Bairnsdale last time. One of the main hopes on that effort. JONQUIL (7) will appreciate the extra ground now after two runs in.
