SELECTIONS: ROCKY VALLEY (2), ALDEBARAN SUSANNE (6), CARLA PIXIE (8), ALDEBARAN SUE (7)

OVERVIEW: ROCKY VALLEY (2) could be open to sharp improvement here, getting a good draw to show his versatility against opposition that seems more favourable than what he's been facing. He did lead and fade over the longer trip three back, but maybe he spent too many tickets early, whereas this draw seems a lot more favourable to have a look for the top or find good cover. He can give a sight at decent value.

ALDEBARAN SUSANNE (6) returns to the front row and can show her good gate speed from the same draw she was able to find the pegs from three back, where she finished a good 2nd. This trip and class suit her, and she will be hard to beat.

CARLA PIXIE (8) returns to mobile conditions, which is preferable after a few standing starts in SA. Prior to that, she ran some nice races at this track from the same draw with a low SP profile, so she's in the mix again despite needing some luck. ALDEBARAN SUE (7) hasn't been trotting well since her stint in Queensland, but it's hard to leave her out against this opposition considering her ability. If she can show any glimpse of what she's capable of, improvement wouldn't surprise.
