Strong tempo, primarily from Sontay and Heart Of The Med. OVER YONDER (2) has been threatening a win in stronger company. Hasn't had the best of it the last couple, and the 2kg claim helps with some of the weight increase in easier. Maps for a soft run and gets his chance. HEART OF THE MED (10) looked sharp at the trials before delivering a 3.7L win at Murray Bridge on debut. Tracked the speed in that and is likely to skip over and do the same here. She's promising and looks capable of taking the next step. LIKE A DRIFTER (5) resumes on the same day and was backed off the map leading and winning a Maiden by 4L. He'd just missed at a short quote here prior, but has a cruel barrier to contend with today. Keep the handy 2kg claim, and he can feature with some luck. JUSTACCLAIM (4) resumes off an easy maiden win at Murray Bridge on debut. He's trialled well and will be naturally improved. Should find a forward position and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Over Yonder.
