Neasham: Zaaki doesn't need to repeat Doomben demolition

Zaaki won the Doomben Cup last year. Annabel Neasham's horse is the prohibitive $1.50 favourite for the $1000,000 race on Saturday. Neashesam is trying to knock the "freshness" out of Zaaki. She wants him to be on track for another tilt at the Cox Plate in the spring. Holyfield is also in action on the same day. The winner gets a ballot exemption into the Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap. The Archer came out from a fourth in The Archer at Rockhampton earlier this month.
