ZARKAHN (6) had been in sparkling form winning two races on end but missed the frame most recently when eighth over 1200m at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Among the leading chances. HOUDINI (9) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fifth in a 1600m contest at this track a week ago. Finds the right race this time and can take this out. CARTMAN (11) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1200m at this track, scoring by 0.1 lengths. Will be better for that latest run and he looms as a significant threat. JINZO (2) turned in a modest performance when tenth last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Nicely placed to figure in the finish.
