SELECTIONS: MUSKEE (4), PRETTYBOY HARRY (3), KYVALLEY MICHAEL (6), OUR MARVELLA (2)

OVERVIEW: MUSKEE (4) disappointed last time at Melton when a well-fancied favourite, but his first-up win was commanding and he deserves another chance in this type of grade. That victory on April 22 was brilliant from the chair and followed some really good efforts in elite three-year-old races from his prior campaign. He easily accounted for PRETTYBOY HARRY (3) there, but he appears to have gone to a new level since joining Ash Manton, who has been aggressive off the arm and was never headed in an all-the-way victory at Kilmore on May 7. Those tactics appear likely again and he looks a key danger. I really liked KYVALLEY MICHAEL (6) last weekend at Melton on the back of some good efforts, but he broke early and lost all chance. He can win at his best. OUR MARVELLA (2) and PROHIBITED GRACE (5) head the other chances.
