Top Pick
2 Angel Capital
Dividend : $2.90, $1.60
Won
F:B(11)W(58.0)
( J-Jamie Kah )
( T-Clinton McDonald )
Tricky draw on debut but it looks to have a nice future. Expensive purchase and it comes off a solid jumpout.
Main Danger
10 Heinous
Dividend : $3.00
Place
F: 67XB(4)W(56.0)
( J-Beau Mertens )
( T-Jason Warren )
Didn't show too much in two runs last prep, but it has been specked at each-way odds. That's a good sign.
Next Best
9 Dreamwriter
Dividend : $1.70
Place
F:B(1)W(56.0)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-B, W & JD Hayes )
Getting the inside draw is a bonus and it comes off a jumpout win at Werribee. A repeat of that effort takes it close.
Consider
1 Almighty Jab
F:B(6)W(58.0)
( J-Zac Spain )
( T-Phillip Stokes )
Wasn't asked for much in a jumpout and it hit the line nicely enough. Drifting odds, but include for value.
Longer Odds
5 Pride Of Lanka
F:B(3)W(58.0)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-B, W & JD Hayes )
A jumpout winner that is bred for speed. Can't be left out.

Top Pick
10 Beurre Rouge
F: 34B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Thomas Stockdale )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Better for two runs this preparation and it doesn't need to lift much to beat this field. Fit and ready to fire.
Main Danger
4 Night People
Dividend : $1.60, $1.10
Won
F: 6323XB(5)W(59.0)
( J-Craig Newitt )
( T-Busuttin/Young )
Ended last prep with three consecutive placings. Might need a run but it has been hammered in betting.
Next Best
5 Onedayon
Dividend : $1.40
Place
F:B(1)W(59.0)
( J-Luke Nolen )
( T-Moody/Coleman )
It has some good betting support on debut against a tricky field. That's a good sign and it gets the inside draw to use to its advantage.
Consider
2 Edwards
F:B(7)W(59.0)
( J-Billy Egan )
( T-Moody/Coleman )
It's on debut but it was been to the jumpouts a few times. That should help and it could add value.
Longer Odds
12 So She Smiles
F: 49XB(9)W(57.0)
( J-Samantha Noble )
( T-Steven Noble )
The change in stables could see it improve. Blowout chance at generous odds.

Time: 8:15 PM | Distance: 1550 m | Prize $ 43500
Top Pick
6 Nakoa
Dividend : $1.00
Place
F: 52B(7)W(57.5)
( J-Jamie Kah )
( T-Price/Kent (Jnr) )
At skinny odds following a second placing behind a nice enough type. That should be a good enough form guide.
Main Danger
8 Aspenado
Dividend : $5.80, $1.40
Won
F: 20X93B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Newitt )
( T-John McArdle )
A danger to the favourite following a third placing last time out. Nothing wrong with that form, so it could score.
Next Best
9 Kung Fu Kisses
F: 7B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Beau Mertens )
( T-Price/Kent (Jnr) )
Specked after opening at $9. Got too far back on debut, so it's a chance if it settles handier to the speed.
Consider
4 Winged
Dividend : $3.30
Place
F: 567B(1)W(59.0)
( J-Patrick Moloney )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Not too far away to date and getting the inside draw helps. In good hands with Maher, so consider at the odds.
Longer Odds
5 Auroa
F: 7B(5)W(57.5)
( J-Luke Cartwright )
( T-Enver Jusufovic )
Could be better than what it showed on debut, so stick with it at the price.

Dividend : $1.20
Place
F: 9X932B(1)W(59.5)
( J-Thomas Stockdale )
( T-Joseph Waldron )
Getting close after consecutive placings and it gets the inside running. Money has come for it to beat the favourite.
Main Danger
1 Affluential
Dividend : $3.00, $1.50
Won
F: 92321B(5)W(59.5)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-John Leek (Jnr) )
A race winner competing against maiden runners. That's a big help and it could kick on with it.
Next Best
5 Caracoron
F: 6344B(2)W(59.0)
( J-Beau Mertens )
( T-Price/Kent (Jnr) )
All around the mark in four career starts, and it doesn't need to improve much to beat this field. Right in the mix.
Consider
9 Sakura Magic
F: 5X75B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Billy Egan )
( T-Patrick Payne )
Better for two runs this time in and there has been solid betting support. Should be right around the mark, so include.
Longer Odds
6 Masatora
F: 0X270B(4)W(59.0)
( J-Luke Currie )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Much better than what it showed last start. Worthy of a bounce back performance.

Dividend : $1.20
Place
F: 22122B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-Price/Kent (Jnr) )
As consistent as they come and it should be in for another good effort. The worthy favourite given its recent form.
Main Danger
2 Bogues
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 412P4B(1)W(59.0)
( J-Jason Maskiell )
( T-Liam Howley )
Did the job nicely four starts back and it hasn't been far away since. Good enough to upset the favourite.
Next Best
8 Howlin' Rain
F: 52321B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Carleen Hefel )
( T-Cindy Alderson )
Capped off solid form with a win at Cranbourne. Clearly likes the track and it could kick on with it.
Consider
1 Dodgy One
Dividend : $9.10, $2.50
Won
F: 29754B(8)W(61.5)
( J-Beau Mertens )
( T-Gavin Bedggood )
Struggling to win races but it always puts itself in the mix. Punters get generous odds now, so it's worth entertaining.
Longer Odds
3 Glens Top Cat
F: 79731B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Luke Cartwright )
( T-Trent Edmonds )
Seeking three wins on the bounce and getting 3kg off its back is a bonus.
