SELECTIONS: OUR MARVELLA (6), KYVALLEY MAVEN (10), IMPERIAL COMMAND (11), A TRUE STORY (4)
OVERVIEW: OUR MARVELLA (6) has had a few chances since her latest victory but her past two efforts have been encouraging. She finished off well for an eye-catching fourth behind I’m Bobby last week so she is worth an investment. KYVALLEY MAVEN (10) overcame a tough run when he won easily at Bendigo then followed with a game second behind the top mare Lady Vici at Melton. He is building up a consistent record and looms as one of the leading chances again. IMPERIAL COMMAND (11) produced a career best performance when he scored easily in a mile rate of 1.56.6 last outing. He is stepping up in class for this assignment but is worth thought again. A TRUE STORY (4) finished off well for third behind Lady Vici at his latest attempt. He hasn’t had much luck since coming from New Zealand and is worth thought against this line up. BITTA IRISH LUCK (9) defeated Maori’s Mac (won since) when she was resuming and has performed fairly well in three starts since. She is a speedy mare and is worth thought from her trailing draw.
EARLY SPEED: 2 (likely leader), 3,5
