      In depth

      Verdict

      Mac Ailey won an apprentices race over track and trip a week ago and escapes a penalty. Shine On Brendan beat Banner Road a neck on testing going here in August but neither have threatened in subsequent starts while Yeeeaah had little chance with an odds-on favourite when runner-up in a seller here recently. DREAM FINAL is less exposed debuting on Turf after placing at Newcastle on his first start since January and he gets the vote with further progress expected on his handicap debut.
