Verdict

Chances galore. POWER OF THE BRAVE (3) bounced straight to the lead and was never under threat last start in a BM65 over this distance at Randwick. Probably won't find this any harder so from a nice gate he can win again. YOYO YEEZY (14) made it two from two this prep, and three from four overall, when he got the job done in a Class 3 over this trip at Eagle Farm last time out. Keeps raising the bar and this is not out of reach. Lightly raced five-year-old VINDICTA (8) resumes. Has won two from three when fresh and a recent trial win suggests he is up for this. PORT ERIN (7) has drawn the car park but is a gun at this distance and can run a big race first-up from a four-month spell.
