Still chasing his first win here at HQ, BE GOOD MIKI (3) might just have found the right conditions to bring it up. With successive starts from inside the second line where he has been buried in the run on each occasion, he was making good metres last start when 5m astern of the winner. Runner-up behind CHEERSTOLOU four back, this is within reach.

YANKEE C J (4) was sent around them from the second line here two starts back at the 2138 and rolling the sleeves was able to grind out the win, pulling clear late to post a 6m margin. Game in defeat last start from the chair, he can force the issue again here to throw down the challenge.

DRAMAS (2) will have to give away plenty of experience to his rivals here as a one-win 2YO. Added to that he will be first up since June when breaking maiden ranks. With a tidy trial to prepare, the gate will help.

MAYWYN TROUBADOR (9) should take some benefit from his last start where he was returning from a spell and loomed ominously when runner-up to ROCK HAMMER. The right trip can see him chime in second up.

SELECTIONS: BE GOOD MIKI (3), YANKEE C J (4), DRAMAS (2), MAYWYN TROUBADOR (9)
SUGGESTED BET: BE GOOD MIKI (3) to win
