Zaniyka is the definite form pick on the bulk of her form but she's been racing over further and makes her debut here. Rosso Corsa, who cost $800,000, had a run in a barrier trial here before starting a short-priced favourite over 1m2f in July but she weakened quickly in the straight. Toriangel has some decent form to her credit but has had enough chances as has Cristal Clere though the latter is likely to do better in handicaps over the winter. NEL has changed stables since a promising start at Bellewstown last month and has much more scope than most of these though Verlinga will be better for her run at Killarney earlier this month.
