SELECTIONS: GREAT HORIZON (4), PARDRAY (6), GLOBAL ELITE (3), SOLO SAPPHIRE (2)
OVERVIEW: Tricky race with a mix of ages, 2yo and up, first starters, different form lines and some bad-mannered types.
GREAT HORIZON (4) goes on top, if for no other reason than she is the most reliable trotter in the race. She’s clean-gaited and shows good early gate speed to get the right map here. Her recent runs have been okay, placing four times from eight starts this season, and she could potentially be the last one standing based on exposed form.
PARDRAY (6) is a 3yo filly who has shown positive glimpses of form, but she’s also shown bad manners, as she did last time, so tread warily. You get the “Herb Factor” here, which is a major advantage in these races where the form can’t always be relied upon. GLOBAL ELITE (3) is a 3yo filly having her second start after a solid debut at Kilmore, where she finished second. This class looks suitable for her to go one better. SOLO SAPPHIRE (2) ran second three starts back and was unlucky not to take the race out after being held up at a vital stage. Her last couple, whilst beaten a long way, were in much tougher grade.
WHOSHOTTHEPIEMAN (1) is a 3yo gelding who is second-up from a break after getting it wrong under standing-start conditions last time out. He didn’t trot that well throughout, but that was only his second outing for the new stable and he did have market support. BROTHER THOMAS (7) is the only 2yo in the race but does have an SP profile that suggests he’s better than his exposed form.
