Expecting a solid tempo set up by Bacash crossing from the outside stall. Have to follow up with YES YOSHI (9) who was a horror watch first up at Bendigo, smashed in betting and never really seeing daylight, shuffled back, held up, then stopped in his tracks again late when making a late dash. Wipe that run, 1200m down the straight looks a nice spot for him. Wary of MARSEPT (16) who bolted in with her maiden as the $1.14 favourite at Geelong in strong late time. Prior to that she'd only been run down by Extragalactic who was a nose off being a G1 winner last week in Adelaide. WISE INLAW (8) is racing well without winning this time in, trying hard in the Bendigo Guineas last time, finishing ahead of BACASH (1) who again has the big weight. Bacash was a bit plain there, but can improve. Wise Inlaw should be competitive again. CATWALK ICON (14) ran in a good race at Bendigo last time as well and measured up, she should do so again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Yes Yoshi & Marsept.
