GREY SKIES (NAP) may have been fortunate to win a match at Sedgefield in March but followed up at Perth and the runner-up franked that form at Uttoxeter last Sunday. Vintage Fizz won by 10 lengths on his chasing bow so can’t be ignored and Zumbi showed promise here last Saturday and will know more today. Hidden Depths and Post No Bills are both recent winners but Jelski is best watched returning from a break.
