SELECTIONS: SOHO TRUMP (1), BROOKLYN DAN (7), ZANDA MAN (4), DYNAMITEDAN (6)

OVERVIEW: SOHO TRUMP (1) missed a spot in the Vicbred Super Series final for three-year-old colts and geldings, but produced a devastating display from the front to win the consolation at Melton last Friday. He led, dictated terms and raced clear to score by 9.5m in fast time. He looks the leader again, and from there he will be awfully hard to run down. BROOKLYN DAN (7) is the key danger despite being first-up and drawn wide on the front row. He’s a very talented pacer from the Emma Stewart yard who won a heat of the Queensland Derby and finished fifth in the Group 1 final before a spell. His trial recently at Melton was electric and he’s certainly good enough to win. ZANDA MAN (4) produced a massive run from the chair to wear down SOHO WASHINGTON (3) last Friday at Melton and he’s a really nice type for the Barker family, while fellow Stewart runner DYNAMITEDAN (6), Stanley’s SOHO WASHINGTON (3) and ATUA MAGIC (2) are probably the others to factor in for the minor end of trifectas and First 4s.
