SELECTIONS: ALOT LIKE LOUIE (9), HOT DEAL (12), TRIPLE ROCK SAINT (7), MERRYWOOD PAUL (1)

OVERVIEW: A great race to kick off the card and ALOT LIKE LOUIE (9) won’t know himself against this sort of company, having been taking on A-grade opposition at Melton where his only failings have come from tough draws. He now punches through off a fast front line to be put into the race strongly at the right time. HOT DEAL (12) has built a terrific record over his career and despite being off the back row here, his provincial form is hard to ignore. TRIPLE ROCK SAINT (7) has been in a purple patch of form but will be forced to do it tough from the wide draw, while MERRYWOOD PAUL (1) is well up in class but his early speed to potentially lead is an advantage at this track.

BACK: ALOT LIKE LOUIE (9) – 3 units (win)
