Top Pick
Modown
Dividend : $1.20
Place
F: 4120B(4)W(60.5)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Charlotte Littlefield )
Showed good form last prep and the stable knows how to get them ready fresh. Follow the positive betting odds.
Main Danger
Quebeck
F: 3X1B(7)W(59.5)
( J-Thomas Stockdale )
( T-Nathan Dunn )
A good fresh up win at The Valley, and that form bodes well at Pakenham. Another runner that looks likely to kick on with it.
Next Best
Lively
Dividend : $5.80, $2.10
Won
F: 16B(5)W(57.5)
( J-Ben Allen )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Scored nicely on debut at Warrnambool before disappointing at Caulfield. That was a tough race, but it could bounce back.
Consider
Eugenius
F: 3147XB(1)W(59.5)
( J-Zac Spain )
( T-Shane Nichols )
Another runner that showed enough during its first preparation. Doesn't need to improve too much to beat this field.
Longer Odds
Dual Pressure
F: 1349XB(8)W(59.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Mathew Ellerton )
The stable often strikes fresh up, and they often pay good money. That's the situation here.

Top Pick
Howlin' Rain
Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 56X45B(3)W(59.5)
( J-Carleen Hefel )
( T-Cindy Alderson )
Better for two runs back from a spell and it could upset the hot favourite. Race experience could count for plenty.
Main Danger
Prince Prawn
Dividend : $1.30, $0.80
Won
F: 3B(6)W(59.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-A & J Williams )
Third on debut at Pakenham and having race experience on the track is ideal. Very well-backed to score.
Next Best
City Of Boulder
F: 863B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Jerome Hunter )
Improving with every run, including a third placing at The Valley. Form in the city bodes well at Pakenham.
Consider
Starton
Dividend : $2.10
Place
F: 49B(4)W(59.0)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Jerome Hunter )
Fourth on debut before failing to fire last start. Stablemate to City of Boulder, and they could both run close.
Longer Odds
Real Wild Child
F: 86X65B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Winona Costin )
( T-Rachael Frost )
Better for two runs back from a spell. Inside draw adds to its upset appeal.

Top Pick
Voracious
F: 3B(9)W(59.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Price/Kent (Jnr) )
The logical favourite following a third placing fresh up. Drawn wide but it should be tough to beat here.
Main Danger
Almairac
Dividend : $2.80, $1.20
Won
F: 42XB(12)W(59.5)
( J-Ethan Brown )
( T-Cliff Brown )

Next Best
Worcester
Dividend : $3.40
Place
F: 85X3B(3)W(59.5)
( J-Laura Lafferty )
( T-Michael Moroney )
Returned from a spell with a handy third placing. Could improve on that from a much better draw than the favourites.
Consider
Magic Defense
Dividend : $2.00
Place
F: 4753B(11)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Jerome Hunter )
All around the mark during its first prep and it's a fit runner. Another Hunter runner running at good odds.
Longer Odds
Give Her A Medal
F: 44B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Danny O'Brien )
Not far away to date and it's going under the radar at value odds.

Top Pick
Best "Each Way"
Pondalowie
Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 1X5B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Emma-Lee & David Browne )
A good debut winner. Safely held last time out but it might have needed the fitness. Prepared to give it another go.
Main Danger
Niance
Dividend : $4.40, $1.70
Won
F: 1420XB(5)W(57.5)
( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-Grahame Begg )
A debut winner before running some nice races. Needed the spell following its last run, and it could return in style as the odds suggest.
Next Best
Hearcomesthestar
F: X365XB(7)W(57.5)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-John Moloney )
Better than its form suggests. Has enough speed to beat this field and it could sneak under the radar.
Consider
Clock Strikes
F: 0724XB(10)W(59.5)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Griffiths/de Kock )
Fresh up form reads well enough and there has been solid betting support. Unbeaten at its only start at Pakenham.
Longer Odds
Ezeiza
Dividend : $4.70
Place
F: 1B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Ethan Brown )
( T-Cliff Brown )
Odd to see a debut winner at value odds. Nothing wrong with its form.

The 'Day's Best'
Marble Arch
Dividend : $2.70, $1.50
Won
F: 7X772B(6)W(60.5)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-B, W & JD Hayes )
Returned to its best form when second last time out. Overdue a win and the money has come thick and fast.
Main Danger
Gates
F: X137XB(8)W(59.5)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Moody/Coleman )
A winner fresh up last prep and that should be a good form guide. Talented at its best, so take the odds.
Next Best
Magarten
F: X2221B(10)W(59.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Jerome Hunter )
Capped off three placings with a win at Pakenham. Loves the track and its opening odds have been slashed.
Consider
Ambassadorial
Dividend : $2.80
Place
F: 130X0B(7)W(59.0)
( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-Waterhouse/Bott )
Didn't let down fresh up but that came in a Group 3 race. This is much easier, so expect improvement.
Longer Odds
Turbeau
Dividend : $4.30
Place
F: X2747B(11)W(62.0)
( J-Luke Cartwright )
( T-David Brideoake & Matt Jenkins )
Looming to win but not finishing it off. Gets another chance at the price.
