6 Zacabasso
F: 505X3B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Graham Richardson & Rogan Norvall )
Considering it came out of gate 12 when resuming and finished less than 3 lengths off the winner, it was a very good run. Clearly the one the favourite has to beat

Better for resuming run 4 weeks ago. Sam doesn't often ride for his family stable but does today and might be a good indicator. Scratching of likely winner presents opportunity
