SELECTIONS: KEAYANG BAZLENKA (4), HOWDY MATE (1), THE PREACHER (2), TIMMY WHIZ (8)
OVERVIEW: KEAYANG BAZLENKA (4) hails from the powerhouse trotting barn of Team Lee and started a $1.20 favourite in the Group 1 NSW Trotters Derby during May but ruined his chance with a break. He heads here first-up on the back of a trial win and he’s already a two-time elite-level victor, having beaten HOWDY MATE (1) in both the Breeders Crown and Vicbred Super Series finals as a two-year-old during 2025. HOWDY MATE (1) has a lovely draw, good fitness base and great winning chance. Two starts ago, he led and looked the winner into the straight but galloped late and allowed Unclad to run past him. Last time out, he was trapped five back the fence in a hot Holmfield and absolutely rattled late to finish fourth and just 7.3m behind Pastor Dunbar. A serious danger. THE PREACHER (2) was a great winner first-up in easier grade and then ran well when fifth in the Holmfield, SUPERIOR STRIDE (6) is a classy NSW visitor who competed in The Great Square in Queensland and did a good job to win at Menangle last time out when pressured in front, while TIMMY WHIZ (8) looks above average and the other key player from inside the back row.
