OH YEAH is at the top of his game and, though possibly a bit better over a mile, is entitled to be thereabouts again as he has a good draw and is very much at home on the sand. Free Deal had Proposition five lengths adrift when successful over a slightly shorter trip here two weeks ago while a case can be made for Manaftermidnight on his best form. The Private has left Michael Roberts’ yard since last month’s second at Greyville but also goes on the shortlist. Bold Matador is back over his best trip so can’t be ignored.
