Yosemite Falls should lead at a slick tempo. ARAMINTA (10) was an easy trial winner prior to finishing runner-up as favourite at Ipswich just over a fortnight ago. She is making her track debut here, and if she can cope with the tight corners, then she is the one to beat. Follow your money. LITTLE VISTA (6) failed to run after having a torrid trip at Beaudesert 8 days ago. His fresh-up effort for third is the guide to use, and from a superior gate, he can make amends. KOZANI (5) peaked on his run late fresh up in a tougher field at Doomben, and has won his only start here. Now fronts up here with that run under the belt and looking to improve. Should be right in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Little Vista is worth an each-way ticket, and Kozani won't be far off winning again.
