SELECTIONS: SWEET IDEAL (9), THE ART OF SUCCESS (1), DAY TWO (7), TOORAM MAGIC (3)

OVERVIEW: SWEET IDEAL (9) ran another great race in defeat when third last weekend to Soap And Bubbles when things just didn’t really work out for her. The field went single file early and then the horse she was trailing in the final lap didn’t take her into the race far enough. Despite that, she reeled off a race-fastest last half of 54.4 – which was more than half a second quicker than all her rivals – to finish third. She’s a really high-quality horse, the small field should suit and she looks awfully hard to hold out late. THE ART OF SUCCESS (1) is a very exciting young mare who has won her past four starts and gets the good draw. It’s hard to know exactly how much gate speed she has given she’s only ever been used off the arm once, but she’s classy and looks destined for a bright future. DAY TWO (7) ran a cracker for second behind Some American two back and then brought up the running line when only beaten 7.4m in that Soap And Bubbles race, while TOORAM MAGIC (3) is flying with a Melton win and top Bendigo second in a slick last half to his name in recent starts.
