Verdict

ANOTHER ZONDA (1) wasn't beaten far last time out, finishing 1.5L off the winner last start at this track and trip. He's since been back to the trials where he bolted in under Wong. She sticks with him now and her claims comes in handy. Back in grade now and can get back to winning form. SHOOTING TO TOP (6) has been solid from wide draws recently, getting across and sitting handy last start when ending up 3L off the winner. Now Purton hops on board and he continues to show talent as a lightly-raced 4YO. Can roll across from the deep again and bounce back to winning ways. CHARMING LEGEND (2) led last start and couldn't hold on, beaten 1L, but he beat home Shooting To Top on that occasion. Drawing inside again here helps and Moreira sticks with him. Should get every chance to go one better. HAPPY SMILE (8) can go to another level up in trip now and it wouldn't surprise to see him improve sharply.
