SELECTIONS: PASTOR DUNBAR (5), UNCLAD (6), HOWDY MATE (7), TIMMY WHIZ (9)
OVERVIEW: Group 1 NSW Trotters Derby champion PASTOR DUNBAR (5) returns to the races after a little let-up and heads here on the back of a good trial against the pacers at Cobram. He was only beaten 4m there and looks ready to go first-up in this good three-year-old contest. He draws inside all the key dangers and shapes as the horse to beat. He’s no moral given the quality of the field, however. UNCLAD (6) won well first-up on July 11 and smoked home for second to Keayang Gypsy last time, HOWDY MATE (7) has won his past two in good style here at Melton and is a handy trotter, while the emerging TIMMY WHIZ (8) caught the eye first-up at Kilmore after an early mistake and then won the final of that series last Friday night.
