SELECTIONS: NEATNTIDY (4), HITCH TO HIS STAR (6), VIVID DREAM (5), ALL BLAZING GUNS (10)
OVERVIEW: One of the great meetings of the year is upon us, and Victoria Cup night kicks off with a clash for horses who have not won any race with advertised stakemoney of $15,000 or more. NEATNTIDY (4) gets a great chance with the services of master reinsman Luke McCarthy, who takes charge of the Aaron Dunn-trained pacer third-up in the campaign. He was a soft winner at Mildura first-up and last Friday had a little look for the front, drifted back along the pegs and then had no clear air in the home straight while only being beaten 2.8m by Earl Of Pembroke. I fancy he’s a chance of finding the top, and from there would get his chance. HITCH TO HIS STAR (6) was a winner at Melton in early September and has run creditable races in good company since, VIVID DREAM (5) won his first two starts for new trainer Dean Braun in Tasmania and was very competitive when sixth in a Victoria Derby heat last weekend, while ALL BLAZING GUNS (10) has been closing off nicely in recent runs and is one at odds worth considering along with WOTDIDUSAAAY (3), who has won his past two.
BACK: NEATNTIDY (4) – 1 unit (each-way)
