Yellow Jersey has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. TREGOR (3) came with a well-timed run to score comfortably here 2 weeks ago over a mile. The extra 500m is no problem, and he remains in the same grade. He only has to cope with an extra 2.5kg to be the one to beat again. TISSE (4) ran on too late when finishing fifth behind the top pick last time out. He will relish the extra 500m, and there is no reason why he can't have the last say here. FIERCE FLIGHT (1) won't lack fitness with a couple of recent hurdle placings under his belt. He is more than capable on the flat, and with Opie Bosson in the saddle, he will be right in the finish again. YELLOW JERSEY (5) led up and faded late here over a mile 2 weeks ago in a similar field. He will be sharper second up, and is well worth including in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: An even field and Tisse will be fighting out the finish.
