SELECTIONS: THE FINAL DANCE (5), BETTORPATCHMEUP (1), BLUE MIKI (3), CALEDONIAN TERRA (2)
OVERVIEW: THE FINAL DANCE (5) absolutely blew his rivals away first-up for the Emma Stewart stable when winning his maiden at Ballarat on June 11 and then had no luck from a sticky gate at Geelong last time out when a beaten favourite. He looks set to start very short in this race, where he appears clearly the class runner and I expect Mark Pitt to drive an aggressive race in the small field. His dangers might be running for second, but BETTORPATCHMEUP (1) has the nice gate, speed to hold a prominent position and some sprinklings of form, the roan BLUE MIKI (3) was badly held up at Ballarat last week and probably should have won, while CALEDONIAN TERRA (2) might have the speed to cross to the fence and hasn’t been far away in recent runs.
