Flying Zulu Storms To Temlee Favouritism

BRISBANE Cup winner Flying Zulu has rocketed to favouritism for the Temlee after drawing box one for the race at The Meadows on Saturday night.

BRISBANE Cup winner Flying Zulu has rocketed to favouritism for the Group 1 Temlee (525m) after drawing box one for the $100,000-to-the-winner showpiece at The Meadows on Saturday night.

The Jason Thompson-trained Flying Zulu firmed from $4 into $3.50 post box draw while kennelmate, Topgun hero Excavation, drifted from $4 out to $4.60 after drawing box eight.

Tim Zoo, the third of Thompson's Temlee hopefuls, is quoted at $8 in early betting after drawing precariously in box seven.

Thompson is shooting for a sixth Temlee triumph with his star trio and back-to-back successes following the win of Explicit in 2024.

But he won't have things all his own way with a strong field to face the starter.

Smooth Plane, runner-up to Explicit in The Phoenix in December, has drawn box two in his bid for a Group 1 breakthrough and is quoted a $6 chance.

Multiple track record breaker Hotel Whisky One ($8) looks to inject plenty of speed from his box three draw while Vincent Bale, fresh off his slashing second in the G1 Gold Bullion, is at $4.40 from his box four draw.

Lakeview Emily, the only female in the field, is at $8 from box five while Queenslander Daysea's Rory, third in December's The Phoenix, is at $26 from box six.

In the Zoom Top, favouritism remained with Ethanol Water post box draw after landing the coveted rails alley.

With two group 1s already under her belt, with wins in the Bold Trease and Gold Cup, Ethanol Water is shooting for a third major on Saturday night.

Joint second favourites are exciting prospect Lanfranco and Black Silencer which finished runner-up to Ethanol Water in last week's Group 1 Gold Cup at Albion Park.
