OVERVIEW: Cracking edition of the $30,000 listed Casey Classic where I’ll side with one of the four Emma Stewart runners in FAIRPLAY (2). He’s lowly rated compared to some of his more seasoned rivals, but I just loved his determination to sit parked and win a good race in fast time at Melton on October 31 and I think he draws to find the top here. He’s a winner of six of seven starts this campaign, with the only miss being a death seat seventh in the Vicbred Super Series 4YO final when he endured a tough trip and faded late. JILLIBY NITRO (1) is a marvellous veteran who loves the staying trips, but will be effective drawn gate one over 2240m. He fronts up here following a good fifth to Ghost Of Time a fortnight ago when he closed nicely from the tail. YAMBUKIAN (4) was super second-up from a long break last weekend when just missing Fox Dan and his chances would grow significantly if he found the front, while BULLETPROOF BOY (10) finished fifth in that same race after settling at the rear. Others can win, including STORMS COLLIDE (6), who broke the Swan Hill track record last time out.
