SELECTIONS: MELICAN (8), CRACKIN PHILTRA (5), OZZIE TART (3), MAJOR FRIEND (6)
OVERVIEW: MELICAN (8) looks to be a 2yo filly going places, unbeaten in two race starts, the most recent of which saw her bolt in when able to lead. She goes to the back row now, but without a horse drawn outside her, she can map in a striking position. This is a tougher race and set-up, but hopefully that means a better price to play, as she looks the one to beat again.
CRACKIN PHILTRA (5) is fresh up from a break off a couple of good trials and was good last preparation, winning before the spell in decent time. The trainer/driver combination deserves respect and should get the right map to have every chance. OZZIE TART (3) finished in the quinella behind the top pick last time but was beaten a long way. She has very good gate speed to get a good map and be a chance again. MAJOR FRIEND (6) was a good winner here last week in an easier race from a back-row draw. That performance keeps her in the mix, but this is a step up. THE KING OFTHEROAD (7) is first up and was racing well before a break. This draw and the quality of opposition mean a bit needs to go his way, so place claims look best.
BACK: MELICAN (8) – 3.5 units (win)
