Yesglenn has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo.
OLE'S DIVA (13) made a nice return over 1200m here two back then looked a shade disappointing subsequently at Bathurst. Willing to forgive that run - the light weight after Stapleford's claim and a slightly longer trip give him his chance to break through. SWEET TWILIGHT (14) tackled the mile for the first time last start and did a good job to work home into third at Gosford. Blinkers go on and will be suited by the long run home at Kembla so she should get every chance. CATHEDRAL COVE (2) led for home but was left in the wake of Man Of Worth over the Randwick mile on Boxing Day. That galloper is going places, so it isn't a bad form reference. Well placed to play a big part in the finish. DON'S PARTY (3) got going when the race was all over on debut here recently. Will enjoy the extra 300m today so expect him to be in contention. JEWEL COUNTY (9) worked home steadily first-up over 1300m at Canberra. Can improve out to this trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ole's Diva each-way.
