OVERVIEW: YAMBUKIAN (8) progressed forward from the second line to find the lead and produced a big performance to win in a mile rate of 1.50.9 at Bendigo when resuming then was shuffled back on the markers and finished off boldly when sixth (6m) behind Rakero Rebel (won Geelong Cup since) on March 01. He appears to be well placed against this class and should make his presence. ROCKNROLL HAMMER (6) finished off best to defeat Captain Bellasario (won since) prior to a game second behind Rakero Rebel. He is back to his best form and looms as a strong winning chance again. LOUIE LOU I (2) finished off strongly and just failed to overhaul Tiger Band Wagon at Melton last week. He is very consistent and looms as one of the leading chances again. IDEAL ESCAPE (7) has a tough draw to overcome but he will appreciate a drop back in class for this assignment. EARLY SPEED: 6 (likely leader), 2 RATINGS: 6,8/ 2/ 7/ 4

OVERVIEW: YAMBUKIAN (8) progressed forward from the second line to find the lead and produced a big performance to win in a mile rate of 1.50.9 at Bendigo when resuming then was shuffled back on the markers and finished off boldly when sixth (6m) behind Rakero Rebel (won Geelong Cup since) on March 01. He appears to be well placed against this class and should make his presence. ROCKNROLL HAMMER (6) finished off best to defeat Captain Bellasario (won since) prior to a game second behind Rakero Rebel. He is back to his best form and looms as a strong winning chance again. LOUIE LOU I (2) finished off strongly and just failed to overhaul Tiger Band Wagon at Melton last week. He is very consistent and looms as one of the leading chances again. IDEAL ESCAPE (7) has a tough draw to overcome but he will appreciate a drop back in class for this assignment. EARLY SPEED: 6 (likely leader), 2 RATINGS: 6,8/ 2/ 7/ 4

Race comment
OVERVIEW: YAMBUKIAN (8) progressed forward from the second line to find the lead and produced a big performance to win in a mile rate of 1.50.9 at Bendigo when resuming then was shuffled back on the markers and finished off boldly when sixth (6m) behind Rakero Rebel (won Geelong Cup since) on March 01. He appears to be well placed against this class and should make his presence. ROCKNROLL HAMMER (6) finished off best to defeat Captain Bellasario (won since) prior to a game second behind Rakero Rebel. He is back to his best form and looms as a strong winning chance again. LOUIE LOU I (2) finished off strongly and just failed to overhaul Tiger Band Wagon at Melton last week. He is very consistent and looms as one of the leading chances again. IDEAL ESCAPE (7) has a tough draw to overcome but he will appreciate a drop back in class for this assignment. EARLY SPEED: 6 (likely leader), 2 RATINGS: 6,8/ 2/ 7/ 4
