SELECTIONS: RIDE HIGH CAPTIN (4), COGNAC COWBOY (1), DIAMOND CHIPP (3), HILLCROFT HUSTLER (7)

OVERVIEW: RIDE HIGH CAPTIN (4) has been very close to breaking his maiden on a number of occasions and is presented with another great chance here. He has done things wrong in recent starts but has still managed close-up minor placings his last four outings and certainly looks capable of taking a race like this on his best behaviour. COGNAC COWBOY (1) produced a big finale from back in the field to just miss last start at Kilmore and draws for a lovely trip here, DIAMOND CHIPP (3) finished alongside RIDE HIGH CAPTIN (4) at Geelong two back and wasn’t too bad when fourth last start at Kilmore, while HILLCROFT HUSTLER (7) was good on debut when second to a handy one in Winchester Boy at Cranbourne and is among the winning chances alongside BAD GRANDMA (6) and perhaps BANIA (9), who trialled well and started odds-on on debut at Geelong but dropped out sharply after a tough trip last time at Melton.
