Vegas Dream and Yes Siree to take up the running at a genuine tempo. VEGAS DREAM (5) loves any give in the track and is revelling in country grade of late. Sneaks some weight relief at an ideal trip. SPIRIT OF VARANASI (2) draws poorly but should appreciate the class drop after three runs back. Can be a home track hero. EQUILIBRIST (6) was specked then won here last start. Up in weight but this looks a winnable race. YES SIREE (7) is coming off a win at Wyong and drops 0.5kg from last run, should go well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vegas Dream each-way.
