SELECTIONS: ROCKNROLL WILLOW (5), SEASIDE BOY (10), GUNFORHIRE (9), OUR ULTIMATE GRACY (3)
OVERVIEW: ROCKNROLL WILLOW (5) dropped out here at Melton on May 30 before turning around her form in a big way with a brilliant death seat victory at Stawell early last week. She sat parked to OUR ULTIMATE GRACY (3), put her to the sword late and drew clear to win by 5.5m. I fancy Chris Alford might look for the front here, and if she was able to get it, she would take a power of beating. SEASIDE BOY (10) has been a beaten favourite his past two but both runs have been super in defeat. This includes when three-wide for the last lap in fast time on July 18 before only going down narrowly to Maas Betting Again. I’m a real fan of GUNFORHIRE (9) and he will be storming late, while OUR ULTIMATE GRACY (3) must be respected with her gate speed and likely spot on the fence.
