ALZARO has been in excellent form post getting knocked down in the straight at Caulfield three starts back. Strong over the trip at Bendigo then just missed in three way go, 2.7 length gap to third, in Ballarat synthetic. Winner Male Model competitive in metro BM66 - BM70 range. Drawn the rail so does no work and blinkers applied first time EL TERCERO looked like he was going to drive through and win at Sale last start but got absolutely creamed in the final stages when two runners ran across him. One of them was ZORRO'S FLIGHT, who got the Sale race when the "winner" was relegated. Still went really well and has looked good in both runs this preparation. SHE'S ANN IDEA kept building and was strong coming clear of her rivals on debut on the Ballarat synthetic over this trip. Seemed okay rain affected ground in jump out, but guided my market.
