SELECTIONS: BULLETPROOF BOY (9), CALEXICO (1), MY ULTIMATE BARNEY (8), TRIPLE EIGHT (6)
OVERVIEW: BULLETPROOF BOY (9) was first-up from a break without a trial and had the extreme back row draw last weekend in a hot free-for-all at Melton, but he ran really well to grab third. He was beaten 10.8m in the end, but it was a great effort given all those circumstances and this looks a shade easier from a better gate with some added fitness on his side. The one they have to beat. CALEXICO (1) finished seventh in that same race last Saturday from three back the pegs, but maps to hold the front here and could certainly run an improved race if he was able to control things at the top. MY ULTIMATE BARNEY (8) is first-up from a big Bendigo win in easier company on July 1 and is a very talented pacer, while the veteran TRIPLE EIGHT (6) rarely wins these days but is hard to discount as he’s a powerful finisher and is always one to consider for trifectas and First 4s.
