Yesterday's Songs spells

Saturday's impressive winner Yesterday's Songs is in the paddock with Michael Moroney having a change of heart regarding the exciting four-year-old's plans.

Originally due to stay in work for a crack at the Winter Championship Final, Yesterday's Songs won so well - with Glen Boss declaring him stakes class - will instead have a short break in order to be set for a spring carnival campaign.

"The timing is such that if he goes out now he will have a better chance to be 100% for spring racing," Moroney said.

Meanwhile we have two runners at Victoria's main provincial meeting this week - Savvy Dancer and The Hotz both lining up in the 2200m Sportsbet Handicap on Wednesday.

Well drawn in barrier three for Jake Noonan Savvy Dancer has been disappointing this time in with Moroney hoping to see improvement from the seven-year-old up to his right sort of distance.

"He is as fit as we can get him and he has work has improved," he said.

The Hotz,who jumps from barrier nine with Steven Arnold aboard, has not had a great deal of luck of late - held up for runs at Cranbourne prior to working hard out wide at Ballarat last time out.

He was however a gutsy third on that day and Moroney has been happy with his progress since - "he has come on nicely since and he should prove hard to beat."
