SELECTIONS: APOLLOSTORM (10), I AM THE STORM (8), KEAYANG SWEETHEART (5), LAMBRO MACH (1)
OVERVIEW: APOLLOSTORM (10) could barely have been more impressive this campaign, with his three wins all in quick time from the front at Melton. While he isn’t likely to assume that role here, he has a brilliant turn of foot and might be too quick for his rivals. Stablemate I AM THE STORM (8) is two from two this preparation and looks just as smart as APOLLOSTORM (10). The gate is a little sticky, but he would be a huge chance if LAMBRO MACH (1) dug up and held the lead. KEAYANG SWEETHEART (5) is a very nice mare from the Lee stable who closed hard last weekend to grab third and barely ever runs a bad race, while LAMBRO MACH (1) charged late to snatch fourth behind the in-form MAAS BETTING AGAIN (9) on July 18 and won impressively at Cranbourne prior to that. They look the key players.
