Verdict

IT'S A YES (8) raced and won on Monday at Warrnambool, scoring dominantly. Quick turnaround seems unlikely but he's a good horse and if Lindsey Smith does opt to back up he'll be very hard to beat again. SUN DEVIL (4) resumes. He looked good winning his first two starts, too strong on debut at Kyneton before a Sale BM62 victory. He didn't measure up in a good 3yo race at Flemington before a break but this suits ideally fresh. SHE'S MY EX (3) was just fair fresh over 5f at Mornington, sent out favourite but racing a bit keenly. She can improve sharply with the edge knocked off. ROSANGELA (5) has won two in a row on synthetic tracks. Now to turf but she'll get good ground and run well. ARABELLA STAR (11) struggled fresh in tougher over 5f but should get a soft run here and can improve up in trip.
