RACE COMMENT
THE GREEK GENERAL (3) returned to winning form over this distance last start, leading from this same barrier to score by 3.8m at Newcastle. Has built a handy record at the mile. Likely to push forward again so could go back-to-back. YUKON BE SERIOUS (2) put three wins together before she raced parked but stuck on to miss by a head at Wagga last start. Hard to knock that form and she draws to make an impact again. REBOUNDER (7) came from a similar barrier when finding winning form at Bathurst last time. Can go on with it. OUR REBEL YELL (12) draws deepest but is going well, adding to a series of top-two finishes when scoring at Wagga last time. GROSSO NASO (11) draws wide but impressed with a 14m win at Tamworth last start so is worth including.
