YUNGABURRA has hit form of late and is taken to land this handicap at the expense of Irish Pearl and Matsunosuke. The selection was back in the winners enclosure at Wolverhampton last month and ran a solid enough race off a seven pound higher mark at the same venue thereafter. He does though run off a career high mark so needs to put in a personal performance to win here. Irish Pearl won back to back races at Southwell over six furlongs. This step down in trip will not hinder him but he looked vulnerable off a mark of 95 last time out and the handicapper may have had the last word so should be treated with some caution. Matsunosuke has been winless for more than a year but has been running consistently well in defeat of late. He never knows how to run a bad race and is certain to fill a place position once again. But for the winner we return to Yungaburra.
