But Cummings is concerned by barrier nine in the 11-horse field and just where Zardozi may get to in the run on Saturday.
He concedes it will take expert navigation by Jamie Melham to get the mare home second-up.
"I'm not sure whether it's going to work out perfectly for her from that set-up," Cummings said.
"It might be all right, with a neutral ride from the draw and she might be steaming home.
"I like what she did first-up, even though we knew she was going to need the run, and she will enjoy getting back to Flemington.
"There's not a lot of pace on paper but I would be looking for her to be running on."
The Cummings team will saddle Chergui in the Listed TAB We're On (1000m) who will be out to book his place in the $1 million VOBIS Platinum Showdown (1200m) at Caulfield on March 15.
Chergui ran second on debut at Randwick in December before running seventh in the Listed Lonhro Plate (1000m) at Randwick on February 8.
"He's come on nicely from that last run," Cummings said.
"In the Lonhro Plate, from barrier four he was facing the breeze when riders didn't really want to cross to the rail.
"Forgive the horse, give him another chance."
