SELECTIONS: MISTER DEVEREAUX (1), MUNNY THE MUNSTER (7), THE PREACHER (4), UNCLAD (8)
OVERVIEW: MISTER DEVEREAUX (1) has been well supported in early betting for this Group 1 Need For Speed Prince Final and I can see why. He ran very well for third despite being held up by a wayward UNCLAD (8) in the heat behind MUNNY THE MUNSTER (7) and had been exceptional cutting ground off leading three-year-old Pastor Dunbar in a qualifier of the Vicbred series prior to that. He was down-the-track in the Group 1 showdown, but draw the pole here, I fancy his chances of running a great race. MUNNY THE MUNSTER (7) won that aforementioned heat thanks to a lovely drive by Stacey Towers and he’s a leading chance despite the wide gate, KYVALLEY RAY (5) is a multiple Group 1 winner in New Zealand who galloped his way out of contention in the other heat but must be respected back to his best behaviour, while THE PREACHER (4) looks the likely early leader and should run well alongside UNCLAD (8), who looked gone in the qualifier but rallied late and finished only 1.9m from MUNNY THE MUNSTER (7) in what was a quirky but good effort.
BACK: MISTER DEVEREAUX (1) – 2 units (each-way)
