SELECTIONS: TWIGSTAR (3), LETITRIDELUV (2), BROADWAY OBSESSION (9), SWEET LADY LOU (8)
OVERVIEW: A good-quality race with a mix of 2 and 3yos, with the younger pair of LETITRIDELUV (2) and filly TWIGSTAR (3) looking the standout options.
It’s agonising to make a definitive call between two horses who are racing so well at this level, but I must lean to TWIGSTAR (3) based on her excellent debut where she settled back in the field and ran away from them over the short trip. She now has a more favourable draw to press forward over the longer trip and potentially look for the lead. She’s already proven she can run time and, with natural improvement, will be very hard to catch.
LETITRIDELUV (2) already has a decent scalp in his career in winning his maiden, then has acquitted himself very well against the elite of his age group in the Vicbred Series. He didn’t draw well in any of those races, and this favourable marble guarantees a positive map and every chance to win again; it’s just whether he’s capable of running times comparable to what the top pick did on debut. Would be surprised if that isn’t the quinella, with much of the remainder having claims at the minor end. BROADWAY OBSESSION (9) may be next best based on a strong SP profile and a solid place strike rate, with SWEET LADY LOU (8) and CALIFORNIA COOL (1) both benefiting from being on the peg line in what should be a strong last half.
BACK: TWIGSTAR (3) – 2.5 units (win)
