Tim O'Connor has outlined his selections and suggested game plan for Saturday night's Vicbred Series Series semi-final meeting.
R1 – 5.17pm – Vincent Vicbred Super Series (3yo Fillies) (1st Semi-Final) – 2240m
2 Eureka Jo
10 Draw A Dream
12 Showsomejoy
1 Tilly Jane
Eureka Jo speared home from three back the pegs to win her heat in good style and now draws a nice front row gate for the semis. I think she represents value and looks worth an each-way play with more the place than the win.
BACK: 2 Eureka Jo – 0.5 unit (win)/1.5 unit (place)
R2 – 5.55pm – Ride High Vicbred Super Series (4yo Entires & Geldings) (1st Semi-Final) – 2240m
2 The Lost Storm
5 Keayang Tokyo
11 Heza Punk Rocker
8 Roadmaster
The Lost Storm was withdrawn from the TAB Eureka on the back of a couple of down-the-track finishes but driven with one run in his heat last week, he peeled off a scintillating last half of 53.74sec. He can find the front here and bounce back to winning form.
BACK: 2 The Lost Storm – 1 unit (win)
R3 – 6.20pm – Art Major Vicbred Super Series (3yo Colts & Geldings) (1st Semi-Final) – 2240m
4 Best Deal
2 Some American
8 Miki To Success
6 Komodo
Best Deal looks a seriously good horse and I think he might be able to work to the lead here and prove too classy.
BACK: 4 Best Deal – 5 units (win)
R4 – 6.55pm – Always B Miki Vicbred Super Series (2yo Colts & Geldings) (1st Semi-Final) – 2240m
12 The Highlight Reel
2 Always Hot
1 Silver Pistol
10 Hesitate
R5 – 7.28pm – Captain Crunch Vicbred Super Series (2yo Fillies) (1st Semi-Final) – 2240m
2 Soho Americano
5 Miss Australiana
12 Let Her Roll
1 Ivseenheavenslight
R6 – 7.54pm – Ride High Vicbred Super Series (4yo Entires & Geldings) (2nd Semi-Final) – 2240m
5 My Uncle Stan
9 Gawn
12 Blazing Home
1 Another Nien
Surprised Rick Cashman’s handy four-year-old has come up such a big price given his really gutsy third to Keayang Tokyo in fast time last week. I’m not sure where he’ll land from gate five and that’s the major concern, but the $21/$3.80 is too tempting.
BACK: 5 My Uncle Stan – 0.5 unit (win)/1.5 unit (place)
R7 – 8.30pm – Art Major Vicbred Super Series (3yo Colts & Geldings) (2nd Semi-Final) – 2240m
