Verdict

YANKEE GAMBLER (9) put the writing on the wall with back-to-back seconds before delivering at his latest appearance, racing parked before getting home by more than a metre at Ballarat. Draws on the back row but came from there when beaten 2m at Ballarat prior and is a two-time winner here. NETRA (6) has been racing well from the second line, beaten less than 2m at Geelong two back before a third at her latest appearance at Maryborough. Contender. FIRESIDE (3) draws well and is a likely improver having debuted with a solid second after racing parked at Maryborough. POSTERIZED (7) broke last time but scored at Ballarat prior so is a player with manners.
