YUKAN ROSE (6) reunites with Teighan Worsnop after scoring with ease over 4½f at Newcastle last time. Will appreciate the drop in grade. Should be in the finish. MYSTERY LAD (4) placed as favourite last time over 5½f at Armidale after he had won two races on end. Hard to knock and is a winning chance. STANDING BEAR (9) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing seventh at Armidale over 5½f. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. DRIVING FORCE (2) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage sixth over 6f at Warren. Well-placed and can sneak into the finish.
