SELECTIONS: AMADA VILLMA (2), HIGHVIEW HAMMER (6), ESPERANZA (1), CRESCO THREEPEAT (7)

OVERVIEW: AMADA VILLMA (2) will find this much more suitable than her last outing, where she struck a strong line-up and they ran time while she was forced to sit parked. This is her best draw in some time to press forward and potentially find a more comfortable lead over the short trip. There doesn’t look to be much pressure, which may allow her to pinch a quarter and be hard to run down.

HIGHVIEW HAMMER (6) has very good gate speed and normally likes to hand over for cover, so may map perfectly behind the top pick after a retake move. He will get his chance late if that map eventuates. ESPERANZA (1) is a last-start winner at Kilmore, where she mapped perfectly and was able to overcome them in a slow mile rate. She has claims again from the soft draw. CRESCO THREEPEAT (7) has been performing well of late, finding the right tempo in his races, as he’s a tough type who grinds into his finish. WHERES WOOD WOOD (3) and MAJOR MAURIE (5) have sticky draws but have minor place claims.
