SELECTIONS: IMPERIAL COMMAND (7), HEZA GUN (12), RUBYS DREAM (8), TIMMY TURTLE (2)
OVERVIEW: IMPERIAL COMMAND (7) is likely to use his brilliant gate speed to find the lead, despite being drawn on the outside of the front line. He attempted to lead throughout when a close third behind Remus Phoenix last outing and this race is slightly easier so he is worth an investment. HEZA GUN (12) broke stride at the start and was still a winning chance in the home straight when he broke stride again at his latest fourth. He appeared to be a good thing beaten last outing and his previous form was sound so he will take beating if he is able to deliver a fool proof display. RUBYS DREAM (8) is shooting for seven straight victories and is a chance of completing task but the barrier draw makes it awkward. She has been placed in two recent trial performances and was hitting the line strongly at her latest Melton trial third. MAJESTIC TOOTH (1) and TIMMY TURTLE (2) are both performing well enough to be worth thought from their good draw.
EARLY SPEED: 7 (likely leader), 1,2
