SELECTIONS: OUR SUNSET DELIGHT (5), CIGANO (6), COASTAL DRIVE (2), YAMBUKIAN (9)
OVERVIEW: OUR SUNSET DELIGHT (5) is emergency for the SEN Victoria Cup and gains a start here if there’s no scratchings from the night’s big feature. He looks very well placed, particularly if he’s able to work forward and assume control. Last weekend in the Smoken Up Sprint, he led, handed to Fighter Command, went straight past him in the straight and just missed Bulletproof Boy who had all the momentum. That followed two dominant wins at Menangle. CIGANO (6) was breathtaking coming from off speed with a personal last half of 53.25 while running down Wicked Confession to score brilliantly at Melton on October 2. He’s very fast and might be too slick with the right trip. COASTAL DRIVE (2) sat parked and won a much easier race than this at Geelong a fortnight ago and has claims if he’s able to find the fence, while multiple free-for-all winner YAMBUKIAN (9) is first-up in more than a year but trialled nicely at Melton for his return and oozes class. GHOST OF TIME (4), HESITATE (7) and TRIPLE EIGHT (8) are others that could win without surprising.
