Verdict

ZORRO'S FLIGHT (4) returns from a 19-week spell. Finished just three lengths from the winner when fresh from a spell last prep over this distance at The Heath under 2lbs more. Recent Horsham jump-out winner. Suspect he is being set for a first-up win with the blinkers back on straight away. ZETALYN (10) had her chance but lacked the change of gears required when fourth over 5 ½f at Werribee at the second run back from a spell. Has been to the jump-outs since. Best form comes at today's trip and she has won two from two when third-up. Ready to peak. COME ALONG JEFFREY (2) has led all the way to win back-to-back BM56 races over this distance at Kilmore. Goes up a level today but this in-form veteran is difficult to fault. THE KILL CLUB (8) won a similar race to this at Warrnambool two runs back. Perfectly drawn and can bounce back to form without surprising. AMBER STAR (6) was game in defeat first-up at Albury. Placed at all three runs at this stage of the prep so must be included.
