Eject
F: 7B(1)W(57.5)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-A & S Freedman )
Disappointed on debut but that was a tough race. Should find this easier and going around the bend could help.

Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 2B(4)W(58.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Annabel Neasham )
Second on debut at Newcastle and that form should stack up nicely in Melbourne. Adds to the depth of the field.

F: 9B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Danny O'Brien )
Tough it too tough on debut when missing the kick. It should be better for the experience, so stick with it.
Longer Odds
Grinzinger Halo
F:B(5)W(56.0)
( J-Billy Egan )
( T-Danny O'Brien )
An expensive purchase. Could get some of that back on race day.

Top Pick
My Name Is
F: 221B(1)W(59.5)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-A & S Freedman )
Capped off consistent placings with a win. Looks set to kick on with it and getting the inside draw is ideal.
Main Danger

Dividend :
Place
F: 14831B(4)W(63.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-A & J Williams )
Three wins from nine starts, including last time out at The Valley. Having winning form here is ideal.

Place
F: 329X1B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-John McArdle )
Broke through for a maiden win last time out and it could kick on with it. Drawn awkwardly, but it has upside.
Consider
Celestial Storm
Dividend : $8.30, $2.80
Won
F: 10X15B(2)W(59.5)
( J-Ryan Houston )
( T-Griffiths/de Kock )
Liked its win fresh up before finishing fifth last time out. Gets 3kg off its back, which adds to its appeal.
Longer Odds
La Fille Rouge
F: 38XB(3)W(55.5)
( J-Celine Gaudray )
( T-Cliff Brown )
Dropping to 54kg helps and it could return a more mature type. In the mix at the odds.

Crimson Light
Dividend : $2.00
Place
F: 831X3B(3)W(61.0)
( J-Celine Gaudray )
( T-Michael Kent )
Third fresh up and it has plenty of improvement to come. Drawn well and weight comes off its back.
Main Danger
Whakamana
F: X3502B(6)W(60.0)
( J-John Allen )
( T-Busuttin/Young )
Returned to form last time out and it's not far off scoring an overdue win. Plenty of betting support coming for it.
Next Best
Jennivamoose
F: 1X061B(2)W(58.0)
( J-Zac Spain )
( T-Andrew Noblet )
Turned its form around with a win at The Valley and staying at the track is a bonus. Inside draw and we're not leaving it out.
Consider
Quite The Lass
Dividend : $3.70
Place
F: X8182B(7)W(60.0)
( J-Ryan Houston )
( T-David Brideoake & Matt Jenkins )
Not always the most consistent, especially at The Valley. However, it's worth including at the odds given the 3kg claim.
Longer Odds
Grand Touraine
F: 14422B(5)W(55.0)
( J-Carleen Hefel )
( T-Mick Nolan )
Knocking on the door after consecutive placings. 55kg on the back helps.

Top Pick
Tewkesbury
F: 24272B(5)W(59.0)
( J-Luke Currie )
( T-T & C McEvoy )
Looming to win this preparation. Must be given another chance, and we're not worried by the drifting odds.
Main Danger
Cours Vite
F: 1X556B(8)W(59.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Clayton Douglas )
Hasn't had all luck in recent racing but that could change here. A two-time winner and it won't take long to get back to winning form.
Next Best
Prickley Prince
F: 5X361B(10)W(60.5)
( J-Celine Gaudray )
( T-Daniel Bowman )
Scored well at Colac last time out. Loves the distance and getting weight off its back helps. Worth including at the price.
Consider
Stardom Awaayts
F: 15942B(11)W(58.0)
( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-Matthew Williams )
It has the experience needed to prevail. Just needs some luck from the draw, but it should be right around the mark.

( J-Ryan Houston )
( T-Bevan Laming )
A winner of three of its last four. The former Kiwi could surprise at odds.

Dividend : $2.50
Place
F: 84541B(3)W(60.5)
( J-John Allen )

( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Chris Waller )
Still in its first preparation, so race fitness isn't a worry. Drawn well and it has the Chris Waller polish.

Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 31X31B(4)W(59.0)

Two wins and three placings from five starts. Tough to look past that form and it comes from a betting stable.

Dividend : $4.30, $2.20
Won
F: 605X4B(3)W(61.0)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Griffiths/de Kock )

Next Best
Apres La Mer
Dividend :
Place
F: 78794B(6)W(59.0)
( J-Sheridan Clarke )
( T-Dean Binaisse )
Might have needed every run back this prep. Not firing but good enough to beat this field on its day.
Consider
Lascars
F: 22014B(1)W(61.5)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Michael Jones )
A good winner two back and a repeat of that would be enough to see it winning. Can't be left out.
