SELECTIONS: ROCKY ROCKS (2), HITCH TO HIS STAR (4), LOUGLE (7), KEAYANG PAYTON (8)
OVERVIEW: Craig Turnbull has three runners in this 0W/15.0K stake contest and I’m keen on the chances of ROCKY ROCKS (2) for his daughter Abbey. He ran a really good race for fifth in a heat of the Vicbred Super Series last week when he came from back in the field and made up ground in a pegs-dominated event. Before that, he was narrowly beaten by the undefeated Enjoy Life in the Tasmania Derby at the end of a strong Apple Isle campaign. He draws to get down to the pegs here and looks a great hope. Stablemate HITCH TO HIS STAR (4) did well to finish second in a 1200m dash from a horror gate last time out and is another very talented pacer that is certainly capable of winning a race like this, LOUGLE (7) is knocking on the door for victory since joining the Stephen Clarke barn and came from last to just miss the airborne The Naked Art last weekend, while KEAYANG PAYTON (8) draws inside back row and comes here after a tough death seat triumph at Ballarat.
BACK: ROCKY ROCKS (2) – 2 units (win)
