ZLOTIES (14) finished third on debut two-and-a-half years ago, beaten 0.9 lengths over 6f at Pakenham, and has not been produced since. Awkward draw to contend with but expected to play a major role. HENRY'S BLADE (2) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound second over 6¼f at this track. Ready to go one better. ZWASP (6) was in the money at Sale when resuming two runs back then could only manage fifth at Sandown-Hillside over 5f two-and-a-half weeks ago. Well placed here and among the winning hopes. HIGHLANDS (3) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 1.3 lengths back in second over 6½f at Echuca. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
