Verdict

YUKAINA (5) was ultra-impressive winning on debut at Colac, leading throughout over 6f and putting huge margins back through the field in fast time. This is much harder but the times and splits say he'll be measuring up strongly. JAMESJOHNO (1) is a danger. He ran well fresh at Stawell when missing narrowly and should be fitter from a good draw. KING TUT (2) resumes for his second campaign. He showed good ability last time in including a smart win on debut. He may get over more ground this time in but can be getting home strongly here. ROCK THEM JOOLS (3) resumes. He mixed his form a bit last time in but shaped well in a few races and can be hitting the line with Lane aboard. CRIPPS (4) didn't fire last time in but is better than that.
