ZAPPER CASS was placed over 6f here last week and landed a course and distance double at the start of the year. He’s re-united with winning partner Ben Curtis and should have the measure of today’s opposition in this grade. Robot Boy also drops in class and has a shout at the weights with an apprentice’s allowance taken into account though it’s been some time since he scored on the all-weather. Karalini hasn’t raced since 2018 and debuts for new connections while Glacier Fox continues to struggle and has little chance on these terms.
