SELECTIONS: KARBINE (5), HOWDY MATE (6), IJUSTCALLEDTOSAY (9), NO MONEY NO HONEY (1)
OVERVIEW: Awesome race and one where plenty can win, but we’ve got to land somewhere and that’s with the speedy little KARBINE (5). John Tormey has done a wonderful job with this pint-sized squaregaiter and he’s in arguably career-best form with two wins in his last four starts. The other two outings were slashing finales through the Vicbred Super Series heats and final. If he lands handy in the running line, he will be closing off hard. HOWDY MATE (6) won the Group 1 Vicbred final for three-year-old trotting boys last time out and must be a factor off the front row, IJUSTCALLEDTOSAY (9) has enjoyed a great campaign, and like KARBINE (5), ran well for third in the Vicbred four-year-old boys’ decider, while NO MONEY NO HONEY (1) is a chance to be crossed by NAKEDTRUTH (2) but is very talented on her best manners and has won both times she’s trotted throughout this preparation. She heads a host of other winning hopes.
