SELECTIONS: RAPTA (1), UNCLE BILL (9), NO REPENTANCE (5), BIG RAIN (3)

OVERVIEW: RAPTA (1) hasn’t been seen at the trials since his one and only start as a three-year-old back in April, when he was well beaten by stablemate Zoolu. His two-year-old form was sound, however, with some close-up efforts in October and November before competing through the Vicbred Super Series heats and Group 1 final. He’s worth taking a chance on from the good draw in a very winnable maiden event where there’s not stacks of form to get excited about. UNCLE BILL (9) debuted in great fashion at Kilmore on August 13 with a second placing behind the handy Jet Plane while holding a big margin back to third. NO REPENTANCE (5) looks to have a good motor based on some powerful finales in her four-start career to date, and I fancy she has good ability. While BIG RAIN (3) was extremely disappointing behind Jet Plane last time, she has run several placings and has the gate speed to find the fence.
