Sigley's first-up assault

Selections

.

.

Vaughn Sigley doesn't seem to need a trial to get his gallopers going first-up with both Black Heart Bart and Dawn's Approach winning first-up without a trial this preparation. That does instill me with enough confidence to suggest that the first favourite of the day might just get rolled. He or She was dominant in both victories last preparation when getting back and charging to the line through traffic. His only failure to date was in a slowly run edition of the Listed Raconteur Stakes when beaten 1.3 lengths by Testamezzo. He is all class and immediate fixed odds support from 4s into 3.80 suggests that like his stablemates he will be raring to go first-up. Retro Rocket is the deserving favourite after notching 3 victories in a row including a dominant Saturday display when knocking off Hey Bro by a casual 1.8 lengths after an emphatic 6.5 length Northam maiden win. Has race fitness on his side and those who were willing to take $1.45 in midweek company will surely be enticed by even money. Vengabus is ever consistent and meets He Or She 3kg better at the weights for a 2 length defeat last time they met. Pretty keen on the short priced Retro Rocket - He Or She Quinella.
