SELECTIONS: ANAKIN (2), TED BEAR (3), GENERAL ROCKER (6), COOL STORY (10)
OVERVIEW: First heat of the Bacchus Marsh Pacing Cup here where plenty can win, but I’ll side with ANAKIN (2) for Team Shinn. He has been caught parked his last two at Kilmore, but boxed on bravely to not be beaten far. If he can find the fence, he should be fighting out the finish as his best is pretty good in this grade. TED BEAR (3) was a good winner at Melton last time out and all his recent form is sound, GENERAL ROCKER (6) ran well first-up for trainer Glenn Beale to only be beaten 10.8m in a fast race at Kilmore on October 22 and might be one to consider at likely good odds, while COOL STORY (10) dug deep to win as favourite from the chair at Ballarat back on October 7 and is certainly a winning chance with the right trip and tempo from wide on the back line.
