Verdict

Zekarya showed decent form off a sizeable layoff when tackling a shorter trip at this venue recently. He can be winning races soon but this comes quick enough and there's every chance that TULPAR will try and run the finish out of him now. The selection didn't lead last time but travelled strongly and looked the winner on the run-in only to be done by an old foe. He can get back to winning ways now. Motown Bob is well worth noting in the market to gauge expectations for his handicap chase debut while Samanntom and Stonehall Jack are considered for place money.
