He\u2019s looked sharp in both lead-up trials and <\/span>appears <\/span>ready to <\/span>tackle <\/span>1300m <\/span>first-up. <\/span>From <\/span>barrier <\/span>three, <\/span>he <\/span>should <\/span>settle <\/span>just <\/span>behind <\/span>the <\/span>speed <\/span>and <\/span>be <\/span>well <\/span>placed <\/span>to <\/span>finish <\/span>strongly.<\/span><\/p>\n

No. 3 Zonkstar <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

ZONKSTAR <\/span>(3)<\/strong> is <\/span>a <\/span>promising <\/span>four-year-old <\/span>lining <\/span>up <\/span>for <\/span>his <\/span>fourth <\/span>start <\/span>under <\/span>Matthew <\/span>Smith.<\/span><\/p>\n

The American Pharoah gelding has won two of his three races, including a strong <\/span>victory <\/span>at <\/span>Canberra <\/span>a <\/span>couple <\/span>of <\/span>weeks <\/span>ago <\/span>over <\/span>a <\/span>slightly <\/span>shorter <\/span>trip. <\/span>He <\/span>was <\/span>held <\/span>up <\/span>in <\/span>the <\/span>straight, <\/span>so <\/span>could <\/span>have <\/span>won <\/span>by <\/span>an <\/span>even <\/span>bigger <\/span>margin.<\/span><\/p>\n

He stepped up sharply in distance after <\/span>racing <\/span>over <\/span>1400m <\/span>at <\/span>Illawarra <\/span>Grange, <\/span>suggesting <\/span>there <\/span>may <\/span>be <\/span>more <\/span>improvement <\/span>to <\/span>come. <\/span>With <\/span>a <\/span>jockey <\/span>upgrade <\/span>and <\/span>barrier <\/span>two, <\/span>he <\/span>should <\/span>get <\/span>every <\/span>chance <\/span>to <\/span>settle <\/span>in <\/span>the <\/span>box <\/span>seat.<\/span><\/p>\n

The run before that 6th of 11 in a Cl1 at Illawarra Grange on September 17 over 1450m, 6 len behind Beautiful You carrying 59kg at $14.

\n
Tip of The Day<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n

SUPERFABULISTC (2)<\/strong> is hard to fault, with Rachel King sticking with her.<\/p>\n

She was narrowly beaten first-up over 1400m on the Kensington track, leading early before tiring late to finish second to Alabama Fox.<\/p>\n

King partnered her to back-to-back wins at Warwick Farm to close out her winter campaign. The Super Seth mare carries an extra 1.5kg, but only needs to improve slightly on her fresh run to be a strong chance over her preferred distance.<\/p>\n

Previously second-up 2nd of 8 in a 3&4yo Bm72 at Hawkesbury on April 8 over 1500m, 0.6 len behind Night Agent carrying 54kg at $13.
