Verdict

Good race and keen to see the unbeaten YES YOSHI (1) return. He's been impressive in both starts to date, backing up an easy maiden win with a soft victory at Caulfield Heath when backed off the map. He's got a bit of weight but might just be a bit better than a (very strong) BM64. PURPLE STREAK (4) was dominant in solid time on debut at Werribee, heavily supported off the back of that in a Vobis race at Caulfield last time where not everything went right. Have to respect that SP, look for improvement. HIGH ON THE HILL (3) won well fresh at Kilmore as a very short favourite, beating home Purple Streak in that Caulfield race in a solid run, have to respect off that. SULEK (2) resumes having run in some top races last time in, 6f is on the sharp side but look for him late. CELTICS (6) won well enough fresh at Bendigo and has upside, expect he can measure up.
