SELECTIONS: SAMBEZIA (4), RAMA SIAGO (5), PIPALICIOUS (1), I AM SKYE CHIOLA (8)
OVERVIEW: SAMBEZIA (4) was most impressive winning at Melton last start, where he showed terrific gate speed to lead from out wide and put a space on his opposition. His prior two runs had indicated a performance like that was on the cards, so that upward trajectory is a big factor. He can have the map advantage on his key rival drawn to his outside, and it should be a good battle down the straight.
RAMA SIAGO (5) is a 3yo having his fifth start for the powerful Lee camp, and this looks to be a more suitable assignment than his last start, where he led but bumped into a smart one and they beat the rest easily. Prior to that he was a winner by a big margin at Horsham, leading all the way. He can press forward from this draw, but whether he can find the top is the question. PIPALICIOUS (1) has displayed better manners at her past couple and, as a result, has produced winning form, leading all the way last start. This looks harder, but the soft draw gives her a knockout chance if the other two overcook things. I AM SKYE CHIOLA (8) has been much better over the past couple of months and has place claims, along with ROSE ALL DAY (3), who has tactical speed to map well.
BACK: SAMBEZIA (4) – 2.5 units (win)
