SELECTIONS: SOME HIGH (5), KINGS GALLERY (7), SOHO BELLAGIO (6), BAYSTYLE (3)
OVERVIEW: SOME HIGH (5) might have the gate speed and barrier draw to cross to the fence and lead this assignment, which could be the winning move. He led, handed up and just couldn’t reel in stablemate Cardigan Sniper at Melton latest, which followed a front-running win at Melton and solid third placing in the hot Rising Star feature at Ballarat. Not sure he’s a star, but he might get the right run to pinch this Vicbred heat. KINGS GALLERY (7) is a very handy customer from the Chris Svanosio stable who has backed up his four successive runner-up placings to Emma Stewart rivals with two dominant wins since returning from a break. From a better gate I’d probably have him on top, but seven makes it tricky. SOHO BELLAGIO (6) won his debut start at Menangle as a short-priced favourite by a huge 24.7m margin in impressive style and he looks well and truly above average, while the honest and experienced BAYSTYLE (3), CRIPPA (8) and first-starter KELROSE CULLEN (4) might not be major winning hopes but are others to consider for wider exotics.
