SELECTIONS: USYK (2), ISLAND YANKEE (3), KITZBUHEL DELIGHT (7), I SEA RED (1)
OVERVIEW: USYK (2) performed well in the Bathurst Gold Crown series earlier in the season and has been able to work back into his peak form having won three of his past four starts. He led throughout and scored comfortably at Wagga last week and he is drawn to be prominent throughout. ISLAND YANKEE (3) has been very good at his three starts to date and recorded a slick mile rate of 1.54.9 when he scored at Wagga last outing. He is a smart colt and looms as one of the leading chances again. KITZBUHEL DELIGHT (7) was resuming since winning the Nutrien Classic in April when fourth at Melton last outing. He should be fitter from that run and is worth an investment. I SEA RED (1) performed extremely well at the trials prior to being unplaced at his first two attempts. He finished off best to win in slick time at Melton last outing and is perfectly drawn so he warrants consideration.
EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 3,4,6
RATINGS: 2,3/ 7/ 1/ 4,6/ 5
