Verdict

ZETHEROS (6) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 7f at Warrnambool. Should come on nicely from that and draws for every hope, big chance. ANGEL'S GATHERING (1) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 1m at Kilmore. Tough draw again but look out late. CALL ME RHONDA (7) is a 10-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at Kilmore over 7 ¼f, beaten 7 lengths. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time. CUP DAY BABY (14) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when seventh over 1m at Werribee three-and-a-half weeks ago. Could improve now.
