SELECTIONS: HOWDY MATE (1), I CHOOSE YOU (10), ALDEBARAN TUCKER (9), WHAT THE TOOTH (3)
OVERVIEW: HOWDY MATE (1) strikes the much easier of the two colts and geldings heats and is clearly the one to beat. He has already won the Gavin Lang Trot, the Nutrien Classic and the Tatlow Stakes this season so he is a quality trotter but if there is a query about the performance this evening, it will be his manners from the pole position as he has had gait issues previously. I CHOOSE YOU (10) was a runaway winner at Melton in August then had no luck whatsoever in the Nutrien Classic Series, where he finished off fast in a heat then broke stride at the start in the Final. He has been performing nicely at the trials in New South Wales and is not to be underestimated. ALDEBARAN TUCKER (9) is resuming since a third in the Nutrien Classic in September. He was runner up at a Maryborough trial effort on Sunday and should run his usual honest race. WHAT THE TOOTH (3) and TIMMY WHIZ (8) are both worth thought in multiple combinations.
EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 3,6
