Race 2 summary - I AM YOU ARE should be able to lead or box seat from draw and is doing everything right at the moment. Looks hard to shake. PORN STAR PETE is drawn slightly awkward but will look to go forward and is a real threat if he gets a few favours in running. 7yo SIROCCAN LAD has placed three of four runs first up and has to be included in the mix. RIVA ENCORE must be respected if he elects to go around off quick back up.

MR GRACEMERE the stablemate of YEPPOON, is another who has drawn poorly but looks well in this otherwise.
