Verdict

THE SHOWVINIST (7) finished full of running last start at the Valley over this trip. Will appreciate having more to room third-up and is drawn to take closer order. Expecting him to take some stitching. ZANTHRON (5) is an ultra-consistent gelding returning. Is yet to strike first-up but does shoulder strong record over this track and trip and gets a key booking in Holder. Doesn't know how to run a bad race. OVEREXTEND (3) kept finding last start on the main track to get hone narrowly. Open to further improvement third-up. FINE FUTURE (8) lengthened nicely to score with a bit in hand here last start. Drops back in trip a month between and is among the main hopes. ASIF (2) is a Singapore import making his Australian debut. Stable will be looking for a rinse and repeat effort from last week with stablemate Bakeel. Similar profile. Don't take lightly.

Verdict
Second run back. First-up after eight months in a small field at this track Bm76 on February 15 over 1000m, 4 len behind Pure Bliss carrying 60.5kg at $8. Previously second-up ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 7 at this track Bm90 on November 11 2023 over 1000m, 3 len behind Queman carrying 54kg at $9. Might find this a bit too tough.
