YANKEE GAMBLER (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when he raced parked but stuck on to finish 1.2 metres from the winner in second at Melton. Draws wider but with even luck he is good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. IAMAWINGATE (7) led from a similar barrier to this and kept going to score last start by 4.7 metres in a nice return to form at Terang. Chance to make it consecutive wins. TOO THE MAX (9) was beaten only 2.2m when fourth at Terang last week and recorded a string of wins and placings prior. Draws on the back row but missed narrowly at Melton the last time he started from there. PRECIOUS BELLE (2) looks well served by the good draw having come from wider to finish runner-up at Kilmore last time out.
