Aspenado
F: 6220XB(1)W(57.0)

War Machine
Dividend : $1.50, $1.10
Won
F: 39X1B(1)W(59.5)
( J-Declan Bates )
( T-Michael Moroney )
A good last-start winner at Kyneton and it could kick on with it. In good hands with Moroney and the odds appeal.
Main Danger
Real Alliance
F: X521XB(6)W(57.5)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Luke Oliver )
Ended last preparation with a win and it could kick things off in the same manner. Could be a nice type in the making at this level.
Next Best
Willabilloo
F: 1XB(2)W(59.5)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Michael Kent )
A debut winner at Werribee before spelling. Given time to mature and that could pay off on Friday night.
Consider
Co Co Van Winkle
Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 3X214B(3)W(55.5)
( J-Celine Gaudray )
( T-B, W & JD Hayes )
Scored narrowly at Benalla at $1.50 odds. A solid fourth at Pakenham last start, which should measure up well enough.
Longer Odds
Bonnet Rouge
F: 5X1B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Brian Higgins )
( T-Emma-Lee & David Browne )
A solid last-start winner and the odds are better than expected. Chance at that price.

The 'Day's Best'
Brier
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: X2961B(5)W(59.5)
( J-Dakotah Keane )
( T-Enver Jusufovic )
Too smart for them at Cranbourne last start and it's good enough to win again. Getting 3kg off the back is ideal.
Main Danger
A Hidden Treasure
F: 16B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Carleen Hefel )
( T-Doug Harrison )
A debut winner at Moe before struggling at The Valley. Better for that run and facing this opposition is easier.
Next Best
Explosive Thinker
Dividend : $2.20
Place
F: 17066B(7)W(60.0)
( J-Joe Bowditch )
( T-Griffiths/de Kock )
Liked its fresh up win at The Valley before struggling when rising in class. Better suited here and it could go under the radar.
Consider
Bangholme
F: 7X852B(1)W(59.5)
( J-Rhys McLeod )
( T-Adrian McGregor )
Better when second at Yarra Glen. That confidence could see its best form return, so we're happy to include it.
Longer Odds
Sheeza Toronado
F: 15B(2)W(57.5)
( J-Paul Gatt )
( T-Clayton Douglas )
Solid form to date, including a debut win. Good enough score here.
