SELECTIONS: ITSAWOMANSWORLD (5), CAPTAIN HANK (3), SANDELTON (1), SWEET FLORABEL (7)ᅠ

OVERVIEW: ITSAWOMANSWORLD (5) was fancied on debut at Cranbourne on the back of some good trials, but was caught parked and ultimately galloped out of contention in the last lap. That race was won by the smart Twigstar, who she had previously beaten at the trials. In a wide-open clash, she looks likely to run well. CAPTAIN HANK (3) heads here on debut for Joe Pace and won a Melton trial on September 8 before a sound third placing last time out, the Jess Tubbs-trained SANDELTON (1) is another stepping out at the races for the first time on the back of some solid trial efforts, while SWEET FLORABEL (7) has done plenty wrong in her races to date but has good ability and a flawless display could see her winning a race like this.
