SELECTIONS: I AM THE STORM (1), PERUN (8), ODIN (9), KARTIARE (11)
OVERVIEW: The progressive I AM THE STORM (1) looks hard to beat here after coming up with the pole-marking draw. He ran second in a NSW Derby heat and ninth in the final before a spell last year and returned in dominant fashion with a front-running win at Terang on May 18. He looks to have a decent ceiling and will likely start a short-priced favourite here. PERUN (8) was a good winner at Melton two back and battled away well in the breeze when fourth to Major Blitz in a fast last half at Bendigo recently, ODIN (9) backed up some eye-catching runs with a whopping 17.7m triumph at Melton last Friday and KARTIARE (11) was massive coming from last at the bell to win first-up from a break, but the drop in trip from this gate makes things tough.
