APEX (2) is back at the races for the first time since January 4. Scored over 1100m at Hawkesbury to launch the last campaign. Rates highly and should take some beating. GOLD CARD (3) saluted at the first run back from a spell last start over 1007m at Taree, scoring by a neck. Has been given a let-up of five weeks since that outing. Will be better for that latest run and can go on with it. ZOUKERINO (8) has not won for a long while. Last raced on April 2 when beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth at Warwick Farm over 1200m. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. MURAL CROWN (1) resumes after a break of 18 months. Hoping for a repeat of his debut win over 1200m at this track to kick off last prep. Fitter for a sixth in a recent trial over 740m at Warwick Farm. Worth plenty of thought.
