Zaaki is a dominant favourite with Ladbrokes.com.au for the feature race at Ascot on Saturday, the Northerly Stakes (1800m).

The final Group l of the season, the Northerly looks an even contest outside Zaaki, one of the best 1600m-2000m horses in Australia and with J Mac coming over from Hong Kong to ride, he is clearly the one to beat, sitting at $2.60.

Alsephina sits on the second line of betting at $7, clear of Bustler at $9.50. In terms of those at odds, Marocchino has had specking, into $23 from $31.
