RACE NINE
MR KALYPSO (1) has been untouchable since returning and resuming a disjointed career. Winning all 4 starts by an average of 11.5m he has never looked in danger as he marches through the grades in the most effortless fashion. From gate 1 with good early speed he looks set to have them chasing.
FRANCO TOTEM (10) has no favours from the gate and perhaps may have been able to issue a stronger challenge to the favourite from a better alley. In great form himself, he landed a mid-week win here when finishing over the top to make it 4 wins for the term. He looks best of the rest.
SOME EXCUSESOMEWHERE (6) lands a sticky gate but has been racing well of late and his past 2 from the 2nd line have been encouraging. A big winner 3 starts back he can be working home late.
GOODTIME STRIDE (7) looked to take them all the way here on Tues but was grabbed in the closing stages by FRANCO TOTEM to go under by a head. Wide off the track in the heat, the inside gate suits.
SELECTIONS: MR KALYPSO (1), FRANCO TOTEM (10), SOME EXCUSESOMEWHERE (6), GOODTIME STRIDE (7)
SUGGESTED BET: Standout trifecta 1 / 6-7-10
