RACE COMMENT
  OVERVIEW: YAMBUKIAN (7) won six races in succession prior to being narrowly defeated by Sahara Breeze last week. He moves to the front line now and is very strong so he can bounce back into the winning list. KEAYANG TOKYO (2) has performed nicely at his first two attempts back from a spell and looms as a danger. He worked home nicely behind YAMBUKIAN (7) at his latest appearance and is much better drawn for this assignment. OLIVER DAN (3) began quickly and attempted to lead throughout when third in the race won by Sahara Breeze last week. He should be getting fitter after having two starts back from a break and should be prominent throughout. TRIPLE EIGHT (4) was driven aggressively and didn’t kick on at the finish when sixth last outing. He was racing in great form when coming from off the speed prior and he is worth another chance. BETTER ECLIPSE (5) and BETTOR ISOLATE (6) are both racing well enough to feature prominently.     EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 1,2,7 RATINGS: 7/ 2/, 3,4/ 5,6
