Plenty of these arrive with claims and it could just pay to take a chance on ZEALANDIA. Unexposed at this sort of trip, he's gradually worked his way back to form, getting off the mark for the campaign at Goodwood and a 4 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent him going well again. Tashkhan faces his easiest assignment for a while and he shouldn't be underestimated, with Baez and last year's winner Emiyn others in the mix.
