INOUE (1) was in a different class last time out, settling well back before rounding up his rivals to score by 2. 5 lengths over 5½f at this track. In form and another big run is on the cards. SHALAA GOLD (7) showed good early dash at the first run after a lay-off last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing one length away in second over 5f at Kembla Grange. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish again. ZALE (3) did well to score at Warwick Farm two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when in the firing line on the corner before finishing second over 5½f at this track, beaten 2. 5 lengths. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. BREMEL (2) turned in a fair effort at Wyong over 5½f at her last run seven months ago, finishing seventh and beaten 2. 5 lengths. Worth plenty of thought.
