Verdict
ZAPPER CASS finished in front of Secondo when runner-up in a tougher claimer over course and distance last month. Mick Apppleby’s charge is taken to confirm running and go one better in this. Skydiving went close in a seller here on his penultimate start and sports headgear for the first-time while The Groove has a shout on these terms having placed in a plating race here last week. Energia Flavio has a tougher task at the weights back in claiming company and the remainder are even harder to fancy.
