Their in-form Snitzel filly Zennzella has been good since transferring to the stable from the care of Lloyd Kennewell winning two of her three starts since late September. Maher & Eustace, who saddle-up an impressive five runners in Tuesday’s 2022 Melbourne Cup field, could be in for a big, few days at Flemington.
