Zakeriz takes out Cootamundra's feature

On the quick back up after a second at Murrumbidgee Turf Club on Saturday, Zakeriz dominated his rivals to take out the Twin Hills Cootamundra Cup (1600m) on Friday.

Nyssa Burrells took advantage on a good draw to lead the field with $3.20 favourite Ready To Humble sitting on their outside.

Setting a strong pace throughout, Zakeriz kept his rivals well at bay after straightening to go on to defeat Ready To Humble by more than three lengths.

It continues to a great run Hardy has had with the seven-year-old.

Zakeriz provided the experienced Wagga horseman with his first win in four years last June.

It was the start of a hat-trick which was completed with a Highway Handicap victory at Rosehill.

He was second in another Highway in his following start before four unplaced efforts was broken at Wagga.
