SELECTIONS: A SPECIAL OCCASION (8), COOL STORY (3), TEST OF FIRE (2), MY MARIONETTE (1)

OVERVIEW: A SPECIAL OCCASION (8) is a Captaintreacherous-sired three-year-old from New Zealand having his first Australian start for trainer-driver Michael Stanley. He trialled at Melton earlier this month, where he ran home in a fast 26.6 final quarter for the middle trip. He has strong New Zealand form, including a third in the Group 1 Northern Derby, where he stormed home from four fence. He can get off the fence being the only horse on the back row here and will be hard to beat. COOL STORY (3) has been racing well, but he does lack early gate speed, so he often needs to make his own luck. He’s a nice horse, and I’m respecting the Ross Graham-James Herbertson combo here. TEST OF FIRE (2) has brilliant gate speed and won by 25.8 metres at this track two starts ago after leading. However, he is first-up here, so fitness will be a query. MY MARIONETTE (1) has the best sectional times on exposed Australian form in this event. She should get a good trip from barrier one.
