YERKO (6) improved sharply on his fifth two starts back at this track with a win over 900m at this track five days ago, getting home by a nose. Looks well placed so expect another big run. QUIMET (7) has been thereabouts recently, the latest result a fourth beaten 1.75 lengths at this track over 1000m. Should be prominent from the outset. Best form puts him right in this. SASUKE (1) finished 6 lengths adrift in sixth last time at this track in a disappointing performance. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. JOHN SUNDAY (3) is a eight-start maiden who went close to shedding the tag last time when second over 1000m at this track. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Deserves respect on best figures.
