SELECTIONS: WILD BULL (2), HES NO ROMEO (3), ROCKALLOVERTHEWORLD (7), MY LITTLE BO (11)
OVERVIEW: WILD BULL (2) was driven aggressively to find the lead and rolled along at a genuine tempo when a runaway winner in a sizzling mile rate of 1.52.3 at Swan Hill last week. He is a good chance of finding the lead again and should take catching. HES NO ROMEO (3) is a brilliant beginner as evidenced by his fourth in the Swan Hill Cup at his Australian debut, where he led easily before taking cover. He should be fitter from that run, is likely to adopt the same tactics and the drop back in distance is a definite advantage so he must be respected. ROCKNALLOVERTHEWORLD (7) was resuming since December when he took cover behind the smart pacer Golden Tribe and battled on well for third last week. He should strip fitter and this race is easier so he must be included amongst the leading chances. MY LITTLE BO (11) ran a game race for fourth last week as she was caught wide early, eased back to last and ran home nicely at the finish to be beaten just over a length in a top mile rate of 1.52.4. She ran fifth in the Victoria Oaks prior so she has the class to test this field.
EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely early leader), 1,2
RATINGS: 2/ 3,7/ 11/ 1,4/ 8
