SELECTIONS: ISOLATION (9), MAAS BETTING AGAIN (3), OLLIES THE BOSS (1), TOPSIES BLING (7)
OVERVIEW: ISOLATION (9) has been in red-hot form this campaign for Patrick Tomkinson with back-to-back wins at Geelong and Melton followed by a close-up fourth placing at HQ last weekend behind Royal Appointment. It was a good run considering the race was dominated by those on the fence and he didn’t get a lot of clear air in the straight. There looks some tempo on paper, and he should give this a real shake. Surprised if he’s not fighting out the finish. MAAS BETTING AGAIN (3) probably needs to lead to win but she’s fast off the arm and won three races from the front with slick last halves through June and July, OLLIES THE BOSS (1) led and beat KOSIMO (2) and CAPTAIN PINS (6) when scoring in a similar grade at Melton on August 29 and has been outclassed his past two, while TOPSIES BLING (7) has produced big finales to win easier races at long odds but is going well and will be closing off late.
BACK: ISOLATION (9) – 2 units (win)
