Won
F: 45232B(4)W(59.5)
( J-Carleen Hefel )
( T-Cindy Alderson )

Next Best
1 Chelmsford
F: 6X844B(7)W(59.5)
( J-Arron Lynch )
( T-Jarrod Robinson )
Building towards a win or a placing. Gets every chance to do that here against a small field, so consider.

( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-Christopher Davis )

( J-Lachlan King )

Won
F: 722B(7)W(56.0)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Julius Sandhu )
Comes off consecutive second placings and that form should stack up nicely in this field. Just needs some early luck from the draw.
Main Danger
7 Stoneage Romeo
F: 33B(1)W(58.0)
( J-Thomas Stockdale )
( T-Nathan Dunn )
Another runner looking to cap off consecutive placings. Gets the gun run from the draw, so it can't be overlooked.

F: 056B(2)W(58.0)
( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-Cindy Alderson )
Had its chances to win a race, but we're prepared to give it another. Drawn well and it should be fitter for recent racing.
Consider

Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 4454XB(3)W(58.0)
( J-Ethan Brown )
( T-Greg Eurell )

Longer Odds
6 Ricky Runs
F:B(5)W(58.0)
( J-Carleen Hefel )
( T-P & T Templeton )
On debut and it could be saving its best work for race day. Include as a surprise winner at odds.

Top Pick
6 Russian Bobshark
Dividend : $1.60, $0.90
Won
F:B(1)W(59.0)
( J-John Allen )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
It has been hammered throughout the week after winning three jumpouts and a trial. It looks ready to ping the barriers and it could be a nice type.
Main Danger
10 Sea Mist
F: 4XB(6)W(57.0)
( J-Ethan Brown )
( T-Matt Laurie )
Right in the market following a fourth on debut in October last year. Spelled and it could come back much stronger.
Next Best
3 Think Rock
Dividend : $1.30
Place
F: 559X2B(5)W(59.5)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Julius Sandhu )
Second last time out at Pakenham, which should be a solid form guide. Each-way odds available, so include at that price.
Consider
2 Kamchatka
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 04525B(3)W(59.5)
( J-John Keating )
( T-Dale Schmitt )
Experienced and never too far away from the prize. Could go under the radar at juicy odds, so don't overlook its chances.
Longer Odds
5 Phantom Prince
F: 40XB(8)W(59.0)
( J-Luke Cartwright )
( T-Tolson/Proctor )
Chance if it repeats its debut effort at Pakenham. Getting 3kg off its back helps.

7 Stylish Icon
Dividend : $4.30, $1.80
Won
F: X5214B(5)W(63.0)
( J-Maddison Morris )
( T-Reece Goodwin )
Not easy to line up picnic form but it has been racing well at the circuit. A good winner two back, which is a solid form guide.
Main Danger
1 Red Stiletto
F: 21120B(4)W(69.0)
( J-Shaun Cooper )
( T-Monica Cid )
Well-backed throughout the week, and three of its six career wins have come recently. A new lease on life.
Next Best
8 Jenni Of Avalon
F: 41114B(9)W(63.0)
( J-Dylan Dean )
( T-Paul Worthington )
Not the Jenni runners we're used to seeing, but it knows how to win. Four wins from its last six, so include on that.
Consider
5 Jenni Contessa
Dividend : $2.30
Place
F: 09361B(8)W(63.5)
( J-Melinda McDonald )
( T-Martin Gray )
Turned its form around with a win at Healesville (not the greyhound track). Looks good enough to keep that form going.
Longer Odds
9 Laststrikeyourout
F: 24211B(1)W(63.0)
( J-Henry Jaggard )
( T-Nicole Dickson )
An eight-time winner with experience to call upon. Chance at odds.

Race 5 - AFC - PETER & LAVELLA DAROSE HANDICAP
Time: 9:15 PM | Distance: 1000 m | Prize $ 43500
Top Pick
4 Clock Strikes
F: 4X722B(5)W(59.0)
( J-Carleen Hefel )
( T-Griffiths/de Kock )
Comes off back-to-back placings and it looks ready to score. Likely to leave its run late, but the clock could strike this time around.
Main Danger
2 Esecutore
Dividend : $1.20
Place
F: 1147XB(1)W(60.5)
( J-Ethan Brown )
( T-Matt Laurie )
It kicked off last campaign with a fresh up win, so it could hit the ground running this time in. Getting the inside draw helps.
Next Best
1 Bold Response
F: 109X1B(8)W(62.5)
( J-Logan Bates )
( T-Julius Sandhu )
Resumed from a spell with a lovely win at Cranbourne, and racing on the same track helps, as does the 3kg claimer.
Consider
6 Massira
F: X4273B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-James Cummings )
Adds to the depth of this field. Right around the mark this preparation for James Cummings, and it's not being left out.
Longer Odds
3 Machinist
Dividend : $46.30, $5.40
Won
F: 25118B(6)W(60.5)
( J-Dakotah Keane )
( T-Jack Laing )
Good enough to score consecutive wins last prep, so include here at a price.
