Genuine pace with Ambassadors finding the front from his low draw. YES DONALD YES (15) just missed at Warwick on debut and then went back at demolished the Maidens by 8.2L over 1350m backed off the map. He's promising and Maloney is a key jockey engagement. He's capable of taking the next step. CHEVALLUM (12) has a similar profile and can build on his all-the-way Maiden win over 1350m at Ipswich. Had been well educated and has the early speed to manage the awkward gate. FIFTH FORCE (2) just missed a place here over 1400m in stronger and the claim helps offset some of the weight increase. Suited at this level and can feature with average luck in the run. AMBASSADORS (5) has also been racing in better grade and drops back from a mile. He also puts in and from a handy gate will get his chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Yes Donald Yes.
