Interesting to see how Zip Along, progressive last season, performs after a break dating back to almost a year ago. Market support would certainly make her of interest but ASTROLOGER may have her measure. The O'Meara filly has already posted three successes in a fruitful campaign over this specialist trip and there's no reason to think that the daughter of Intello cannot handle a 4lb rise for a decisive Newmarket success last month. Kylie Rules has every chance if in the same form as when landing the Summer Cup here on her penultimate outing and neither Pattie nor recent scorer Excellent Times can be excluded in what is a decent fillies' handicap.
