SELECTIONS: SAM NIEN (4), KYVALLEY MICHAEL (3), CLAUDYS HERO (1), RINGER WELLS (8)
OVERVIEW: Wide-open event to start the Quaddie where it’s easy to make a case for most of the runners in the field. That said, SAM NIEN (4) looks primed to run a big race third-up from a spell. He was a very good three-year-old last season and has been impressive in defeat in both starts in 2026. Where he lands in transit is up in the air, but fancy he goes close. KYVALLEY MICHAEL (3) is another horse knocking on the door for a win and was fourth in the race SAM NIEN (4) ran second in at Maryborough on May 31 with a tougher trip. CLAUDYS HERO (1) went back to last and galloped at the turn in his first run back from a little freshen last weekend but is a major player from the pole draw, while RINGER WELLS (8), WALLIS (10) and JUST AS I AM (6) look other key players.
BACK: SAM NIEN (4) – 2 units (win)
