Bankstown Race 8 - Bankstown Sunday Markets Pace
BLACK ONYX (8) resumes after finishing fourth at his latest appearance at Melton on December 6. Drawn to enjoy a nice run, with luck possibly playing a role at some point. Finds a nice race and will prove very tough to beat. FOXY DADA (7) resumes from a spell here after closing his last prep with a fourth at Menangle on October 20. Expect him to be prominent. ZEN MASTER (1) is worth thought after finishing fourth first-up over 2030m at Newcastle last time out. FIRE FOX NZ (6) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1720m at Penrith. Include in combinations.
