SELECTIONS: IM BOBBY (1), LOVEMETO (4), ALDEBARAN ACRUX (8), REMUS PHOENIX (7)
OVERVIEW: It’s great to have one of the country’s most improved horses in IM BOBBY (1) back at the races, and the random barrier draw has been very kind. He comes up with the pole, has good gate speed and is clearly classy enough to go all the way. He hasn’t had a trial for this, but his best is right up there with the best in the country and he goes happily on top. LOVEMETO (4) sat parked, put away the leader and was only beaten by stablemate REMUS PHOENIX (7) last time at Melton in what was a great run. He’s in the zone at the moment and gets a great chance here, as does REMUS PHOENIX (7) despite the wide gate and likely settling position back in the field. ALDEBARAN ACRUX (8) should get a lovely run in behind the likely leader and heads here on the back of a third placing to Rockinwithattitude in the Group 1 Macarthur Mile.
BACK: IM BOBBY (1) – 3 units (win)
