    Verdict

    Zookeeper has made the running in both starts to date. He has been taking on decent opposition and looks a likely type for a nursery off this sort of mark. But STAR CACTUS has progressed with each run and, though raised 7lb for his victory in an Ascot handicap, can win again for an in-form stable. Zaisan and Eagle's Realm started joint favourite at Ayr with Archie Watson’s colt expected to confirm that form and he is also preferred to Chepstow second Genuflex.
