ZIRYAB (13) is in good form, taking out the Terang Cup as an even money favourite last time out which is often a key lead up to this. Stays down in the weights and can win again. STRAWBERRY ROCK (5) tried hard behind an in-form Bankers Choice in the Mornington Cup last time out and will be staying on strongly. SMOKIN' ROMANS (1) was solid in the Mornington Cup and maps well while MYSTERY ISLAND (11) won this last year and is progressing nicely for a defence.
