Well-backed on debut and it looked good at the jumpouts. Bred to show early speed and it could pay to keep an eye on betting markets.
Main Danger
1 Bivtonic
F:B(3)W(58.0)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
On debut and it has been well-backed to win. That's a good sign, so punters should include it in picks.
Next Best
2 Burlington Arcade
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 7B(1)W(58.0)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
It didn't fire on debut at Caulfield, but that was a tough race behind Prince Tycoon. Better for the experience and better with the inside draw.
Consider
3 Ground Control
Dividend : $3.40, $1.40
Won
F:B(8)W(58.0)
( J-Joe Bowditch )
( T-Phillip Stokes )
A jumpout winner at Pakenham and that form could show up on race day. Another well-backed type with a bright future.
Longer Odds
9 Fierce 'N Fabulous
F:B(2)W(56.0)
( J-Luke Cartwright )
( T-Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr )
Its jumpout form was solid enough to recommend and it could cause an upset at odds.

8 Duchess Zou
Dividend : $2.80, $1.20
Won
F: 2B(2)W(57.5)
( J-Teo Nugent )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Nothing wrong with its debut placing when going down narrowly. That should be a good form guide for this, hence the shortening odds.
Main Danger
11 Rhia
Dividend : $1.00
Place
F: 52xB(1)W(57.5)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
A good first preparation, including a placing at Sandown. That's a nice run for this race and it comes off a trial win at Caulfield. Inside draw is a bonus.
Next Best
2 Animal
F: 3B(7)W(59.5)
( J-Beau Mertens )
( T-Nikki Burke )
Money has come for it thick and fast following a good third on debut. Still has plenty to learn but it could mature into a nice type.
Consider
9 Groove Jet
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 235x3B(5)W(57.5)
( J-Billy Egan )
( T-Danny O'Brien )
Four placings from six starts, and it deserves a win at some point. Not an easy maiden field to handle but it could sneak under the radar.
Longer Odds
3 Country Blues
F: 50x3B(12)W(59.5)
( J-Koby Jennings )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
Much better effort when resuming and a repeat of that could be enough to take it close.

9 Tassron
F: 232B(12)W(59.5)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Chris Waller )
Knocking on the door of a win after three consecutive placings. In good hands with Waller and it only needs to find cover from out wide.
Main Danger
8 Tabor
Dividend : $2.90, $1.30
Won
F: 454B(11)W(59.5)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young )
Solid enough efforts so far without placing. Right behind them and this stable knows how to get them up and going early.
Next Best
13 Stella Cantante
F: 44462B(10)W(57.5)
( J-Ben Allen )
( T-Nick Harnett )
Well-backed to win following a placing. Might not have as much upside as the other two, but we're respecting the money coming for it.
Consider
7 Not So Common
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 66x38B(1)W(59.5)
( J-Jett Stanley )
( T-Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott )
Likely to get an uncontested lead off the inside draw and that could be the winning of the race. Just needs to lift on its most recent effort.
Longer Odds
6 Neck High
Dividend : $3.10
Place
F: 96602B(2)W(59.5)
( J-Jason Maskiell )
( T-Andrew Perdon )

Dividend : $1.40
Place
F:B(10)W(59.5)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
Good money coming for it on debut after pleasing work at home. Bred to want more ground but this is a good starting point.
Main Danger
6 Royston
F:B(8)W(59.5)
( J-Ben Allen )
( T-Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr )
A solid jumpout when second and it hasn't been missed in betting markets either. Big chance if it gets some cover from the draw.
Next Best
11 Princess Mess
F: 2B(1)W(57.5)
( J-Billy Egan )
( T-Patrick & Michelle Payne )
It opened as the favourite before drifting. Second on debut at Cranbourne and it's capable of going one better. Inside draw is a bonus.
Consider
1 Brother Quickie
F: 70xB(4)W(59.5)
( J-Koby Jennings )
( T-Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman )
Didn't fire in two runs last prep but the spell should have strengthened it up. It hasn't been ignored in betting, which is a good sign.
Longer Odds
3 Flag Flyer
Dividend : $9.20, $2.10
Won
F: 46x5xB(2)W(59.5)
( J-Logan Bates )

Top Pick
6 Tournelle
F: 15x6xB(4)W(59.0)
( J-Ben Allen )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
A good winner on debut in Europe. Its Australian debut wasn't flash, but it has been given time to recover and it should fire up.
Main Danger
1 Varane
Dividend : $3.10, $1.40
Won
F: x2x34B(2)W(61.0)
( J-Billy Egan )
( T-Patrick & Michelle Payne )
Always around the mark and it deserves a win this preparation. Big weight holds it back, but class should be enough to see it run well again.
Next Best
5 Pardon My French
F: 17x43B(10)W(59.0)
( J-Dakotah Keane )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Good enough to win consecutive races last preparation and it's working towards a win. 2kg comes off, so include in picks.
Consider
7 Nebuchadnezzar
F: 43331B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Julius Sandhu )
Capped off consistent form with a win at Cranbourne and it could push forward and be tough to get past.
Longer Odds
8 Shooter Mcgavin
F: 8x883B(8)W(58.0)
( J-Jason Maskiell )
( T-Paul & Tracey Templeton )
A much better third last start and that confidence could see it post another win or placing at odds.

4 Sioux Spirit
Dividend : $2.60
Place
F: 37x41B(12)W(59.5)
( J-Logan Bates )
( T-Jerome Hunter )
Drifting odds after opening as favourite. Scored nicely enough last start to warrant attention and getting weight off helps. On top it goes.
Main Danger
10 Bonnie Amore
F: 22x54B(4)W(57.5)
( J-Ben Allen )
( T-Greg Eurell )
It never runs a bad race but doesn't win as often as it should. Gets a chance to score its second win here, and it has been well-backed.
Next Best
5 Tophet
F: 412x2B(5)W(59.0)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
Another consistent runner with plenty of upside. Punters get nice each-way odds in this race, and it's a value runner.
Consider
3 Symphony Of Colour
F: 57x26B(11)W(60.0)
( J-Billy Egan )
( T-Dominic Sutton )
It has winning form on soft tracks, so the conditions won't worry it. Drawn wide but it could find cover and sprint late.
Longer Odds
8 Sotomayor
F: 3717xB(7)W(58.5)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Matt Laurie )
Solid enough form last prep, including a win and placing. Chance if its best form is brought to the table.

F: 122xB(8)W(58.0)

Started its career with a win and two placings before spelling. It's tough to ignore that form and it hasn't been missed in betting markets.
Main Danger
7 Walk Of Fame
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 7355xB(3)W(58.5)
( J-Billy Egan )
( T-Danny O'Brien )
It has always shown ability and now it's time to start winning more races. Loves the sting out of the track, so this is an ideal chance.
Next Best
11 Royal Invader
F: x9273B(11)W(57.5)
( J-Luke Cartwright )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Nearing a win this preparation after placing twice from its last three starts. 2kg comes off its back and it should run well.
Consider
5 Social Conscience
F: 42516B(1)W(60.0)
( J-Jason Maskiell )
( T-Craig Blackshaw )
Scored nicely two back and anything close to that effort is good enough. Inside draw is ideal and it's a two-time winner at Sale, which helps.
Longer Odds
3 Charcoals
F: x13x5B(12)W(60.5)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
Nothing wrong with its form this campaign and it could sneak under the radar at odds.

Place
F: x67x1B(12)W(58.5)
( J-Beau Mertens )

A fresh up winner and it has every chance of kicking on with it. Barrier 18 isn't flash, but with luck, it could have the class edge.

Dividend : $2.40, $1.60
Won
F: 22x41B(5)W(59.0)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
Broke maidens with a good win at Pakenham. Enjoyed the drop in class and it could rise through the grades now.
Next Best
6 Verona Rupes
F: 318x3B(11)W(61.5)
( J-Billy Egan )
( T-Patrick & Michelle Payne )
Solid fresh up effort when placing at Pakenham. That form should hold up well and punters get each-way odds. Worth backing.
Consider
5 Promised Land
F: 145x4B(9)W(61.5)
( J-Jake Noonan )
( T-Patrick & Michelle Payne )
Another runner that is better for its fresh up run. Unbeaten in two second-up starts, so the odds are overly generous.
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
3 Albanian I Am
F: 599x6B(2)W(61.5)
( J-Luke Cartwright )
( T-Ernie Francese )
Much better than its form suggests and it could turn things around here. Big odds.
