DARLEY SIRES' PRODUCE STAKES
ZAMBALES (1) should be starting deep in the red here, bringing clearly the best form. Three runs to date have all been good, game behind an impressive winner here two back in the Talindert, one of the best runs in the G1 Blue Diamond when clearly looking for further. He gets that now, draws ideally for Zahra and should be taking care of these. DR HOOK (5) got back in the G2 Silver Slipper fresh and struggled. He could be a quick improver out to 1400m from an inside draw. HYDROBOMB (4) ran well behind Leopard Shark on debut, trying hard when challenged. He'll relish 1400m and maps well. DIAMETER (3) was solid fresh in the Talindert and can be working home late. LEOPARD SHARK (7) is up and running and has to be considered.

Racing well recently. Most recently 4th of 16 at Caulfield in the G1 Blue Diamond on February 21 over 1200m, 1.2 len behind Streisand with 57kg at $21. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at this track in the LR Talindert on February 14 over 1100m, 2.75 len behind Hard Kick with 57kg at $2.30. Brings the A1 form and sets up perfectly here.

Was well-supported at debut, 2nd in a small field at Sandown-Hillside 2yo Hcp on February 25 over 1300m, on a slow track; nose behind Leopard Shark carrying 59kg at $3.40. Nice debut and can take catching.

Returned from break eased back early on 7th of 9 at Rosehill in the G2 Silver Slp on February 21 over 1100m, 5.5 len behind Stretan Ruler with 56.5kg at $13. Could be an improver up in trip.
At debut, 5th of 9 at Warwick Farm 2yo Mdn-Sw on February 18 over 1100m, 4 len behind Wolf Gap carrying 57kg at $6. Others seem to have his measure.
Chasing a hat-trick.

Jumped at long odds at debut, 4th of 7 at this track in the LR Talindert on February 14 over 1100m, 5 len behind Hard Kick carrying 55kg at $26. Would have to improve.
