Heavy track hurdle for Zaaki in cup
SATURDAY 3.18PM
Superstar import Zaaki is a formidable favourite to win a second Group 1 Doomben Cup (2000m). The seven-year-old demolished his rivals by seven lengths last year and again heads into the race after winning the Group 2 Hollindale Stakes. But trainer Annabel Neasham has warned heavy tracks take away his brilliance. The Doomben track is rated a Heavy 8. Nine challengers have accepted to take on Zaaki, including Hollindale placegetters and Chris Waller pair Polly Grey and Kukeracha, and Huetor, who ran fourth.
