Verdict

Excited to see KING ZEPHYR (3) back at the races. He went on a winning streak through the grades last time in, putting up strong numbers and margins before striking a wet track in the Listed Straight Six at Flemington and coming to the end of his campaign. He's had three jumpouts to prepare and should be wound up for this given he's likely looking to sneak into the Rupert Clarke Stakes field in a few weeks' time. LA FRACAS (1) has also put up a picket fence, winning his past three. His last start win at Flemington was excellent when switching across the field and charging late. He's off a let up for this and onto a dry track but has to be respected. FLYER (6) tried hard behind EPIC PROPORTIONS (2) first up in a bunched finish. Flyer meets Epic Proportions better at the weights here but both have each way claims. HELIX (8) is a handy sort who has jumped out well and is in the mix.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 49-day let-up. At the latest run favourite; ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by a neck at Flemington Bm84 July 19 over 1200m in soft going defeating De Bergerac carrying 56.5kg at $2.40. The race before that favourite; won by 2.75 len at Sandown-Lakeside Bm70 July 2 over 1200m in the wet defeating Eugenius carrying 58kg at $2.70. Keeps raising the bar and has race fitness.
