Still in Perth, Andy Gath joined Burning Questions ahead of The Nullarbor and joined Rickie Alchin, Nathan Jack and Tim O'Connor to shine the spotlight on Saturday night's big Nutrien Equine Classic finals night at Melton.

The agenda:

  • Rickie's star filly has been a little off the boil, but if she's right was the $1.30 a spoil?
  • The juvenile pacing boys' battle is one for the ages, so who do we expect to lead the news pages?
  • Derek's already hit three home runs, but can he smack another against these big guns?
  • Tex was good on debut in the west, so can he go a few better in his Nullarbor test?
