Neil and So Yes It Is should lock horns early at a strong clip. Former Victorian SILVER HAMMER (1) is first-up here for the new stable but the form he showed down south was more than good enough to be competitive in a race like this. Has placed three from three when fresh and gets Maloney on board from the favourable draw. Ticks plenty of boxes. THREE TEES (9) has hit the top five in all three starts to date and must be respected from the Gollan camp. Looks a serious danger. THE HINDUSTAN (4) has placed two from two around this circuit and should be hitting the line with gusto. ATTENTIVE (15) strips fitter second-up from the spell and may earn some minor money. SO YES IT IS (2) best of the rest with Jones in the saddle. SUGGESTED PLAY: Silver Hammer to shed the maiden tag.
