Jockey Craig Newitt says the adaptability of Heart Of Dreams could be the key to the four-year-old joining an elite list of Underwood Stakes winners to complete the Yalumba Stakes double.

Newitt has predicted tactics will play a big part in Saturday's eight-horse Yalumba (2000m) at Caulfield.

"It is probably going to be a bit a of tactical race but he has drawn good (four) and he will have every hope," Newitt said.

Newitt said he was preparing for every eventuality going into the race and is confident that no matter whether there is a hot or dawdling pace Heart Of Dreams will adapt.

"If they walk he can be handy and if they go quick he can settle a bit further back and make a run at them," Newitt said.

"The horse is going well and I can't fault him.

"He's having his first run at 2000 metres but it won't be a problem for him, in fact I think he's been looking for it."

Heart Of Dreams made it five wins from 11 starts when he held off Whobegotyou to win the Underwood Stakes (1800m) at Caulfield on September 19.

The Mick Price-trained gelding would become the 14th Underwood-Yalumba winner with Northerly the most recent to complete the double in 2001, 12 years after Almaarad.

Others have included Caulfield Cup winners Tristarc, How Now and Gay Icarus.

Northerly, Almaarad, Bonecrusher and Ajax (1938) are the only horses to win the Underwood, Yalumba and Cox Plate in the same year.

Betting agencies expect Whobegotyou to cement his Cox Plate favouritism and deny Heart Of Dreams successive Group One wins.

TAB Sportsbet has him at $2.20 for the Yalumba and $3.80 for the Cox Plate while Heart of Dreams is $3.80 and $9 for the respective features.

Whobegotyou would give jockey Damien Oliver his fourth Yalumba win after Naturalism (1993), Danewin (1995) and Northerly.
