SELECTIONS: KEAYANG WASABI (10), USYK (5), REPELLING (7), MY UNCLE STAN (8)
OVERVIEW: KEAYANG WASABI (10) has really hit a rich vein of form in recent weeks and he looks well placed to secure his third win since mid-April. Last time out, he was driven aggressively to beat a handy field at Terang, which followed a couple of line-smashing efforts at Melton that had him appearing ready for victory. The tempo should be on enough for him to close hard from the wide back row gate, with REPELLING (7) likely to spear forward and set the speed. He was in trouble a long way from home last weekend, but the drop back from 2240m to 1720m could be telling as he did lead and win over that trip at Melton on April 4. USYK (5) was unlucky last Saturday when held up in a 4.5m defeat to All Blazing Guns, MY UNCLE STAN (8) is a good horse returning from a spell, there’s a watch on NSW raider SHADES OF MIKI (3), and THE STATESMAN (6), TOORAM MAGIC (1) and BIG BAD OSSIE (2) wouldn’t shock either.
BACK: KEAYANG WASABI (10) – 2 units (win)
