( J-Celine Gaudray )

Main Danger
Cinderella Days
F: 0X48XB(4)W(58.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Grahame Begg )
Better than its form suggests, hence the shortening odds. Could get back to its best against this level of opposition.

Dividend : $2.10
Place
F: X645XB(5)W(57.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Moody/Coleman )
Yet to fire fresh up in four attempts, but the small field could help its cause. Shouldn't be overlooked.
Consider
Senegalia
F: 150X5B(2)W(54.0)
( J-Jamie Kah )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Better for its fresh up effort and it could hit the line nicely late. Every chance to win or place.

( J-Harry Coffey )

Place
F: 40X73B(6)W(58.0)
( J-Ben Melham )

Won
F: 21412B(2)W(55.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Price/Kent (Jnr) )

Next Best
Kettle Hill
F: 74181B(5)W(60.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Two wins from its last three starts and it has run well at Flemington with two placings. Good enough to beat this field.

( J-Blake Shinn )

Won
F: 3X261B(11)W(57.0)

Place
F: 0X431B(10)W(58.5)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-B, W & JD Hayes )

Next Best
Moral Force
F: 19X12B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Fred Kersley )
( T-Lindsey Smith )
A lot to like about its form at Warrnambool. More depth to this field, but it has been met with betting support.
Consider
Ivan's Hero
Dividend : $2.10
Place
F: 1226XB(1)W(57.0)
( J-Damian Lane )

( J-Ben Allen )
( T-Simon Lee )

Won
F: 1X6B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )

Main Danger
Drifting
Dividend : $1.20
Place
F: 1B(8)W(55.0)
( J-Jamie Kah )
( T-P & P Snowden )
An impressive debut winner at Hawkesbury. Form in New South Wales usually stacks up well in Melbourne.
Next Best
Always Enuff
F:B(7)W(55.0)
( J-Zac Spain )
( T-Shane Nichols )
Solid jumpout wins last month and it could show up on race day. A tough field, but it's there for the taking.
Consider
Grinzinger Love
Dividend : $3.10
Place
F:B(9)W(55.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Danny O'Brien )

F:B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Daniel Moor )
( T-Greg Eurell )

Peace Treaty
F: 1X411B(3)W(55.5)
( J-Luke Currie )

Main Danger
Moesha
F: 134X4B(5)W(54.0)
( J-Will Price )
( T-Moody/Coleman )
Should appreciate the drop in class having run behind some smart types. This is an important race for its future.
Next Best
Excess
F: 125XB(2)W(54.0)
( J-Celine Gaudray )
( T-Julius Sandhu )
Showed good form in tough races following its debut win. Spelled and it could come back a much stronger type.
Consider
Bonnie Amore
F: 1B(6)W(54.0)
( J-Daniel Moor )
( T-Greg Eurell )
A winner on debut and it hasn't been missed in betting. It was a six-length win, so it deserves a chance against this company.
Longer Odds
Satin And Silk
F: X1211B(8)W(56.5)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-P & P Snowden )
Loves to win and there's no reason to leave it out.

Won
F: 13X11B(9)W(55.5)
( J-Jamie Kah )

It has been winning for fun, hence the short odds. Looks to be heading for the bigger races, and the weight helps.
Main Danger
Magnaspin
F: 7X162B(4)W(56.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-L & T Corstens )

Place
F: 35311B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Ben Melham )

Shooting for three on the bounce and the confidence levels are high. Paying generous each-way odds
Consider
Zamborghini
F: 18133B(1)W(54.5)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Matt Laurie )
Another runner that is always around the mark. Just needs to follow one into the race to go close.
Longer Odds
Karburan
F: 5116XB(6)W(56.0)
( J-John Allen )
( T-Busuttin/Young )
Having its first run in Australia and the imports are always dangerous.
