SELECTIONS: GREAT HORIZON (3), BROTHER THOMAS (4), DELIGHTFUL REYNA (7), THE TROUT COD (1)
OVERVIEW: Tough way to start proceedings at Ballarat with a wide-open maiden trot, but GREAT HORIZON (3) does look one of the closest to a win. Last week at Charlton, she settled behind the leader and ultimately finished second in a race five of these horses contested. It followed a good third – beaten just 4.6m – at Maryborough prior to that, and while she’s had 23 goes at trying to break through, this looks a suitable event. BROTHER THOMAS (4) ran well on debut in that same race, settling behind GREAT HORIZON (3) on the fence and then chasing her home for third. DELIGHTFUL REYNA (7) has a sticky gate but is racing well for Alison Alford and heads here on the back of a second placing to star two-year-old Phoenix Rex and a fourth at Shepparton last week. While THE TROUT COD (1) didn’t beat a runner home last start at Ballarat, he ran well first-up from a break and draws nicely in gate one. ALECTRONA (9) ran well for second while beating home DELIGHTFUL REYNA (7) last time and is next best.
