YAYA SALLY (7) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (33.86) last time in a Grade 5 at Traralgon. Has a good record here including two wins. Better than last start and worth following up. BIT OF POTASH (1) recorded the quickest win on the program at Geelong last time, jumping from this box to claim a Grade 5 win in 25.93. Should be in this for a long way. ASTON YAMATO (2) scored last time out by 5 lengths at Geelong over 400m (22.63). Is yet to find the frame here from two. Significant danger. ASTON LACE (3) was in the money last start as favourite - poses a threat again.

Comments

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Geelong over 460m in 25.93 last start, beating Money Palace. Likes the rails so goes very well from this draw including three wins. Leading player.
