In depth
Verdict
Captain Zinzan has been shouldered with topweight but should go close along with the likes of Adronikus and Bigwig. Captain Zinzan has been put back over hurdles of late and was noted staying on well at Stratford. The longer trip should see a big improvement and he can shrug off his welter burden with Timmy Murphy expected to hold him up before unleashing his effort with three to jump. Adronikus gained a couple of wins last year but does not always impress with his jumping, while the market should be watched for Thrashing who has been off the track for some time.
