Verdict

YAUSON (5) bumped into a nice horse first up and hit the line strongly before going right on with it second up at Seymour, ridden aggressively and bolting in by over four lengths. He'll adopt similar tactics here from the wide gate and has plenty of upside. The one to catch again. CROCODILE (9) has been rock solid in two runs back and looks set to peak here up to a mile. He comes through a fast race last time and will be charging late. JENNI YOU THINK (11) was back in trip last time at Sandown Hillside and ran well for third. Like her back up to a mile now and she should go well. TANGANYIKA (2) is coming off a solid win at Geelong and has each way claims, as does NIC'S CHOICE (1) who can improve to a mile fourth up.
