Race 1 – YUE WAN HANDICAP
9 Yeaboi has been the victim of wide barriers in both runs this prep and has finished off strongly each time against the race shape. Interestingly, this marks his first try at the course and distance, and though drawn in barrier 10 he does look ready to turn in a peak effort in what, as always, shapes as a wide-open Class 5 contest. #8 Mr Aladdin has also copped poor draws recently—barrier 11 in his past two starts—and stuck on well from that awkward alley last time to hold second, though he remains a 21-start maiden. Surely a Class 5 win is within reach. #10 Leather Master was a long-standing maiden until breaking through at his 20th attempt last start, beating Mr Aladdin over this track and trip. It was just his sixth run for the Manfred Man yard and the improvement since the stable switch suggests he’s turned a corner. The margin of over a length last start bodes well for his chances again. #2 Kingly Demeanor can bounce back at any time in Class 5, boasting two wins from eight attempts in the grade. He has early speed, will roll forward, and can give a bold sight if he gets things his own...
