Verdict

ME AND ZAC (6) has had two runs this prep without filling a placing. Added to the sequence last time over 1 5/16m at Shepparton, finishing 6 metres away from the winner in fourth. Meets a similar line up and he is a strong winning hope. IN HIGH PLACES (3) is a lightly-raced gelding who produced a career-best effort last start, finishing third over 1 5/16m at Geelong. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Recent efforts are good enough to put him right in the finish. APACHEVALLEY (2) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1m at Cranbourne. KYVALLEY JOYRIDE (7) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1 5/16m at Geelong on November 21.
