Verdict

EVERYTHINGISAUTUMN (7) bounced back off a good effort at The Heath with a narrow defeat at Yarra Valley. McDougall goes aboard and the mare is well-placed to be winning. SASTERION (4) is third-up and will be better for the run over 1 ¼m. In good hands and can make the finish. HE JUST GOES (3) peaks and should be around the mark. BACK STREET AFFAIR (1) has lost his way at his latest couple but a little bit further may help now.
