Loads of pressure, primarily from Potberrie, Sonic Jet and Mastership. YIPPEE KIYAY (18) is racing well this campaign with a fresh-up win then a near miss last time. First try at the trip but fitter again and looks one of the main contenders. CALANTHA (14) won well fresh then drifted a long way back last time but found the line strongly. Placed 2/2 here and this race is well within her grasp. ROLLO THE VIKING (10) has won his last two on the all weather at Greyville. Should be winding up strongly. BIRTHRIGHT (16) is in great form lately. Has placed 3/5 this circuit. Sure to be right there at the business end.
