YAMBUKIAN (9) is flying having recorded a fifth straight win at this circuit when he came from this same barrier and worked before digging deep to get home narrowly. Hard to knock winning form and could add to the picket fence. SAHARA BREEZE (1) overcame the outside barrier for a Listed win against the mares in Sydney last start. Dead-heated with Yambukian here prior so must be respected from the ace draw. The Emma Stewart-trained pair OLIVER DAN (3) and MIKI TO SUCCESS (2) are both proven second-up so are capable of improvement from low draws while HES FROM HEAVEN (8) has been racing well and draws for a trail.
