SELECTIONS: I AM WILMA (1), LOVEMETO (6), ROCKINWITHATTITUDE (9), GANDHI MAIL (7)
OVERVIEW: Wide-open Group 1 Bill Collins Trotters Sprint where preference is with I AM WILMA (1) who draws wonderfully in gate one and heads into this assignment on the back of a lovely trial where she beat two pacers and GOTFEELINGSYOUKNOW (5) at Melton on October 6. Her last run was a very brave runner-up placing behind GATESYS GEM (2) in the Group 1 Vicbred Super Series Final for four-year-old trotting mares when she had a back row draw and sat parked for most of the race. She has gate speed and a great chance from the pole over the 1720m. LOVEMETO (6) struggled from a similar draw over this trip first-up but bounced back in a big way over 2240m last weekend winning the Dullard Cup against four rivals that reoppose, ROCKINWITHATTITUDE (9) is a multiple Group 1 winner who couldn’t overcome her big handicap in the McNamara Memorial Trotters Cup at Geelong latest when beaten by a front-running IMPERIAL MONARCH (4) but is without doubt one of the top squaregaiters in the land, while Italian GANDHI MAIL (7) brings down good NSW form from five starts there and might be the speed horse from wide on the front line. Great race and the chances don’t stop with those mentioned.
BACK: I AM WILMA (1) – 2 units (win)
