SELECTIONS: THE GOLDEN HOOK (4), CO CAPTAIN (9), OWEN THE SAINTS (10), IM DUSTEE (5)
OVERVIEW: THE GOLDEN HOOK (4) drops back sharply in class to a more suitable race here, taking on much better performed horses at Melton recently. His form prior was quite good in unsuitable set-ups, and last time he was in this type of grade he knocked up back-to-back wins. He has good early gate speed to race on pace over the short trip and may represent good value based on his numerical form.
CO CAPTAIN (9) will no doubt be popular in the market, and based on what he did last preparation, deservedly so. However, he failed as an odds-on favourite first-up when he led and looked to have every chance. He’s a quality type and deserves another chance.
OWEN THE SAINTS (10) got a deserved win after some solid performances this preparation. He’s got a strong finish on him, but from the poor draw he needs the tempo on. IM DUSTEE (5) won a more suitable race here last week, rewarded after some strong performances. This draw is a little sticky, but he deserves consideration.
BACK: THE GOLDEN HOOK (4) – 2 units (win)
