SELECTIONS: OUR TINKA BELLE (6), DOSSIER (9), JOE LOU (7), JAKARTA (10)
OVERVIEW: OUR TINKA BELLE (6) is a five-year-old who only made her debut back in July, but has shown loads of ability despite plenty of issues with her manners. Two back at Geelong, she looked home in the straight at massive odds before galloping in the shadows of the post. And last time at Kilmore, she was held up in the last lap but unleashed a big finale to round up her rivals and win softly on the line under minimal driving from Jack Laugher. She’s taking on much more experienced rivals in this Bacchus Marsh Trotters Cup heat, but I think there’s some good ability there. DOSSIER (9) drops back slightly in grade and brings in some strong formlines, stablemate JOE LOU (7) has loads of talent but has broken his last two and is a risky trotter, while JAKARTA (10) has been competitive of late and is the highest rated trotter in the field at 55 so must be respected.
BACK: OUR TINKA BELLE (6) – 2 units (win)
