Zed Or Alive closed well after settling off the pace on debut, and I am confident that he can begin his rise through the grades today at Seymour.
The Peter Moody & Catherine Coleman-trained gelding was sent off at double-figures at Flemington on debut last month, and he did show some good ability.
With natural improvement and dropping in class, I think he’ll take beating today.
He hasn’t drawn particularly well, but Hedged looks to have a bright future, and he can break his maiden this afternoon at Seymour.
The Capitalist gelding finished third, beaten two lengths on debut at Ballarat back in March, and he returned to finish a credible fourth behind Title Fighter at The Valley last month.
He’s another that is open to plenty of improvement and will relish the drop in class, but the booking of Beau Mertens adds further confidence.
Hydro Star has been knocking on the door of another race win for some time, and he gets his chance today at Seymour.
The enigmatic galloper has returned to action in consistent form this time and has missed placing only once at his last six appearances.
We were with him when he only just missed at Sale last time out, and I don’t think he’ll be offered a better opportunity than this.
Coco Dreaming couldn’t have been more impressive on debut, and this looks the next logical step for her to take.
The Pariah mare showed some ability at the trials prior to debuting and put the writing on the wall at Wyong earlier this month.
This is harder, but she has plenty of upside and is buoyed further by the booking of James McDonald.
