SELECTIONS: ALRIGHTY (6), WITH APLOMB (3), VYTIS (7), IJUSTCALLEDTOSAY (9)
OVERVIEW: ALRIGHTY (6) carried the famous Maoris Idol colours to victory here first-up from a long break on July 11, leading comfortably before darting away to win by a big space over NAKEDTRUTH (4) and EL RESAMO (8). The lead again looks his, and while I’d prefer him over the 1720m, the 2240m trip shouldn’t prove an issue. He’s the one to beat. WITH APLOMB (3) ruined her chances with an early break last time out, but her prior form was excellent and Steve Cleave has her flying, VYTIS (7) carved out the best last mile, half and quarter of the race when an eye-catching fifth to Hoppy on July 4, while IJUSTCALLEDTOSAY (9) looked set for his third success in four starts before being grabbed in the shadows of the post last weekend by Muskee. He gets a lovely trailing draw and is another that can win.
BACK: ALRIGHTY (6) – 2 units (win)
