SELECTIONS: JACCKA EVAN (7), SCHWARZ (8), MY LITTLE BO (3), ISOLATION (6)
OVERVIEW: JACCKA EVAN (7) has been very impressive since arriving from New Zealand, winning his first two starts at Wagga and Kilmore before an unlucky third at Melton last time out. His win sitting parked to the handy Atua Magic two back was very tough, and he looked ready to sprint past rivals but couldn’t get clear late when third to Royal Appointment. Reckon he’s pretty handy, so happy his way. SCHWARZ (8) was second-up back in the care of Emma Stewart when he worked forward from the back row, found the top and held on for victory at Geelong a fortnight ago. It was a good win without being amazing, and he’s a nice, progressive type from a powerful yard so must be respected. MY LITTLE BO (3) is first-up following a break and trialled really nicely at Melton for her return, while ISOLATION (6) was plain last time out behind winner OLLIES THE BOSS (5) at Geelong, but is worth another chance based on his form from earlier in the campaign. Not much would surprise here!
