Top Pick
Muramasa
F: 116X8B(3)W(59.0)
( J-Daniel Moor )
( T-Busuttin/Young )
It needed the fresh up run and it should be the quick improver. Should enjoy the smaller field, and the odds appeal.
Main Danger
Carini
Dividend :
Place
F: 15X45B(5)W(54.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Danny O'Brien )
Attracting plenty of interest down in the weights at 54kg. A luxury weight for a runner with its ability.
Next Best
Mankayan
Dividend : $2.00
Place
F: 0X242B(4)W(57.5)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Always tough to beat and it deserves a win after two second placings. Should settle on the speed and kick gamely.
Consider
Captain Envious
F: 32310B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Paul Preusker )
Another runner that needed the fresh up run. Settled back and hit the line well enough, suggesting it's ready for this.
Longer Odds
Gear Up
Dividend : $15.80, $4.90
Won
F: X00X3B(6)W(57.5)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Annabel Neasham )

Won
F: 63X92B(1)W(58.0)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-M, W & J Hawkes )
Went close last time out and it could easily go one better. Doesn't need to improve much to handle this field.
Main Danger
Ambassadorial
F: 30X02B(3)W(58.0)
( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-Waterhouse/Bott )
Second at Pakenham last start, but that was a tidy field. Better suited to this level of racing than its past city runs.
Next Best
Socks Nation
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 21214B(7)W(56.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Not missed down in the book following a solid fourth. Had two wins prior to that and there is solid betting support.
Consider
Inexorable
Dividend :
Place
F: 25X22B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Grahame Begg )
Always tough to include a maiden runner, but it's getting close after three second placings. Confidently backed at odds.
Longer Odds
Magnolia Lodge
F: 4X144B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-L & T Corstens )
Won well fresh up and anything close to that effort would be good enough.

White Bear
Dividend :
Place
F: 5X8X1B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-Michael Moroney )
Didn't face much in the way of opposition last start but that was an impressive win. Looks to have more to come.
Main Danger
Wolfy
Dividend : $6.20, $3.10
Won
F: 110X9B(4)W(58.0)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Nick Ryan )
Showed good pace when winning consecutive races last campaign. Didn't fire fresh up but it should improve on that.
Next Best
Furious
Dividend : $2.30
Place
F: X151XB(2)W(59.5)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-M, W & J Hawkes )
Four starts for two wins. Not the deepest Saturday field, and it could take advantage. Drawn to get a soft run.
Consider
Ice Symphony
F: 28X51B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Symon Wilde )
Has the form on the board with a win at Ararat. Rising in class but this is a wide open race with plenty of chances.
Longer Odds
Kentucky Casanova
F: 4X304B(4)W(65.0)
( J-Jaylah Kennedy )
( T-Michael Huglin )
Better for recent racing and getting 3kg off its back should help. Could be the blowout runner.

Top Pick
Best "Each Way"
Jigsaw
F: X559XB(4)W(61.0)
( J-Ethan Brown )
( T-Cindy Alderson )
A proven winner fresh up and its best form could return. Big weight but it enjoys racing at Caulfield and over the distance.
Main Danger
Viviane
Dividend :
Place
F: 113X8B(7)W(54.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Mathew Ellerton )
Good enough to win three on the bounce last prep. Ready to get back to its best and the odds suggest as much.
Next Best
General Beau
F: 4410XB(6)W(59.0)
( J-Jamie Kah )
( T-Mathew Ellerton )
A big boy who needs room to move. Wound up nicely to win two back before finding it too tough at Caulfield. Bounce back claims.
Consider
Lempicka
Dividend : $5.50, $2.80
Won
F: 117X0B(2)W(54.0)
( J-Blaike McDougall )
( T-K & K Keys )
Another runner capable of stringing wins together. Could sneak under the radar with 54kg, but it can't be left out.
Longer Odds
End Journey
F: 18X14B(1)W(54.0)
( J-Beau Mertens )
( T-David Brideoake & Matt Jenkins )
Already a winner this prep and it only needs to lift a touch to win.

Top Pick
Nugget
Dividend :
Place
F: 404X7B(5)W(60.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
It has been facing tough fields and running well enough. This looks right up its alley and only the big weight is against it.
Main Danger
First Immortal
Dividend : $4.80, $2.50
Won
F: 2127XB(7)W(55.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-M & L Kavanagh )
Often goes under the radar but it's a smart type. Won its only start at Caulfield in fine style, so it can't be overlooked.
Next Best
Keats
F: 31371B(1)W(55.5)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Gavin Bedggood )
A two-time winner this preparation and getting the inside draw helps. Well-backed throughout the week, which is ideal.
Consider
Arran Bay
F: 54X61B(3)W(54.0)
( J-Daniel Moor )
( T-Phillip Stokes )
Got back to winning form last time out and it has always been a confidence runner. Getting down in the weights is a bonus.
Longer Odds
Shaiyhar
F: 1605XB(6)W(54.0)
( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-Busuttin/Young )
Might need one run but it should figure in the finish at odds.

Won
F: 1X61B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-B, W & JD Hayes )
Couldn't have been more impressive last start. A professional type that could have more stakes wins in the tank. Short odds the only deterrent.
Main Danger
Yes Lulu
Dividend :
Place
F: 2B(2)W(55.0)
( J-Jamie Kah )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
It had good backing on debut when second at Sandown. Nothing wrong with that run and it has been specked at odds.
Next Best
Immortal Star
Dividend : $2.20
Place
F: 6X1B(3)W(55.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Danny O'Brien )
Scored by a nose at Ballarat to break maidens. Not an easy rise in class, but breeding suggests it'll be winning races.
Consider
Comanche Miss
F:B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Phillip Stokes )
A nice jumpout winner and it's bred to show early speed. Connections haven't picked an easy debut, but that shows confidence.
Longer Odds
Sky Cap
F: 22B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Annabel Neasham )
Close in two starts to date and the value odds are there.

Top Pick
Peace Treaty
F: 1X411B(3)W(52.0)
( J-Jamie Kah )
( T-A & S Freedman )
Impressive wins so far and it looks to have a bright future. Getting in with 52kg on its back makes it tough to beat.
Main Danger
Waltz On By
Dividend : $6.00, $1.70
Won
F: 645X2B(9)W(57.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Moody/Coleman )
Classy at best and it wasn't all that far away last time out. Building towards a nice effort and it has upside.
Next Best
My Bella Mae
F: 55032B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Sean & Jake Casey )
Never too far away from the mark and Damian Lane has been riding well. Only needs to lift a touch to be in the mix.
Consider
Seonee
Dividend : $2.50
Place
F: 1115XB(5)W(57.0)
( J-Jake Noonan )
( T-Patrick Payne )
Strung four wins together last preparation, so the ability is there. Nothing wrong with that form, and the odds are generous.
