Yandina is less exposed than these but the Barry Hills-trained filly looks to have plenty of weight for what she has achieved and while Felicitous may improve, she needs to on her first start on the Polytrack, so preference is for the proven sand form of Stonecrabstomorrow. The selection was never able to get competitive over seven furlongs at Kempton last time and may well be better judged by his previous showing here when coming late to collar the well-handicapped Libor. Off just a 4lb higher mark today, Paul Cole's colt looks worth supporting. Perfect Treasure looks to be running into a bit of form now and does have a nice racing weight, while Cindertrack has slipped back to fair mark and cannot be discounted. Hill Spirit and Hoh Wotanite are others to consider, particularly the latter who has proven form on the surface. Stonecrabstomorrow handles the track really well though and he gets the vote to bounce back to winning ways.
