SELECTIONS: GO MIKI (5), ALWAYS BE BLAKEY (12), CENTOFELLIE (2), FUN TO LOVE (1)
OVERVIEW: GO MIKI (5) competed in the New South Wales Derby in March and has remained undefeated in three starts since with his latest victory being in a mile of 1.51.9 at Menangle on August 02. He is an outstanding colt and is clearly the horse to beat. ALWAYS BE BLAKEY (12) recorded a sizzling mile rate of 1.52.8 when he scored at Melton last outing. He is a tough pacer and has won three of his past five starts so he must be respected despite the wide draw. CENTOFELLIE (2) was resuming since May when she worked hard and battled on strongly for second behind the smart mare Soap and Bubbles at Shepparton. She performed nicely at the trials prior and she is drawn to run another good race. FUN TO LOVE (1) is a possible improver from the inside draw and CLEAR LEFT (8) should run his usual honest race.
EARLY SPEED: 5 (likely leader), 2,7
RATINGS: 5/ 2,12/ 1,8/ 7,9
