A lot to like about its debut placing and it has improvement to come. In good hands and solid money has come for it throughout the week.
Main Danger
7 Habenaria
F: 3B(8)W(56.0)
( J-Luke Cartwright )
( T-Antony & Sam Freedman )
Best backed to beat the favourite. It's another runner that placed on debut and getting in with 53.5kg makes it tough to hold out.
Next Best
8 Illyivy
Dividend : $3.50, $1.30
Won
F: 23x2B(3)W(56.0)
( J-Celine Gaudray )
( T-Ray Besanko )
Three starts for three placings, so it's knocking on the door. Drawing well helps and it doesn't need to improve much to win this race.
Consider
5 California Flyer
F: 3225xB(4)W(56.0)
( J-Beau Mertens )
( T-Gavin Bedggood )
It showed consistency last prep when placing in three consecutive races. Longer odds than expected, so punters could snap up the value.
Longer Odds
4 Southampton Flare
F: 8xB(9)W(58.0)
( J-Harry Coffey )
( T-Lloyd Kennewell & Lucy Yeomans )
Only fair on debut but it has been spelled and it could return as a stronger type.

Dividend : $1.50, $1.30
Won
F: 2B(7)W(58.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-James Cummings )
Short odds and it could give Mark Zahra a double to start the day. Second on debut at long odds, and we're not shocked by the odds-on quote.
Main Danger
7 Wentworth Falls
Dividend : $1.30
Place
F: 635B(5)W(57.5)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Antony & Sam Freedman )
Another Godolphin runner that has shown glimpses of good form. Third two back at Kembla Grange, and coming to Victoria could see it win.
Next Best
3 Sky Deel
Dividend :
Place
F:B(4)W(58.0)
( J-Beau Mertens )
( T-Gavin Bedggood )
On debut after an improving trial and it's bred to want more distance. Kicking off over 1400m should suit, and it's going under the radar.
Consider
5 Fierce Fighter
F: 6B(3)W(57.5)
( J-Luke Cartwright )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
A solid enough sixth on debut and it should train on for Maher. 3kg comes off its back and it's another at nice odds in an even field.
Longer Odds
2 Pierrobid
F:B(1)W(58.0)
( J-Jake Noonan )
( T-Steve Richards )
Solid enough at the trials and the progeny of Pierro often make a good start. Worth including at the odds.

9 Sun Gift
Dividend : $2.60
Place
F: x4774B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-Danny O'Brien )
Beaten by Bluestone last start but it can turn the tables at the weights. Drawn well and it should get all favours in the run.
Main Danger
3 Bluestone
Dividend : $1.20
Place
F: 41x11B(3)W(60.5)
( J-Ben Allen )
( T-Michael Kent )
A nice type in the making after posting three consecutive wins. Likely to rise grades and distances, so it has plenty of upside as a stayer.
Next Best
1 Slane
Dividend : $8.20, $2.40
Won
F: 38521B(5)W(61.0)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Enver Jusufovic )
It got back to winning form with a victory at Cranbourne. Capable of kicking on with it, and punters get value each-way odds.
Consider
6 Ghetto Supastar
F: 72959B(7)W(58.0)
( J-Dean Yendall )
( T-Mick Shepherdson )
Struggled to find its best form but it has been racing in much harder fields. Specked at each-way odds, so it can't be overlooked.
Longer Odds
7 The Devil In Her
F: 6x646B(5)W(58.0)
( J-Billy Egan )
( T-Patrick & Michelle Payne )
The stable is going well and it owns two placings at Sandown. Worth including in selections.

Top Pick
The 'Day's Best'
9 Tuscaloosa Gem
F: 221B(1)W(59.0)
( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-Grahame Begg )
It capped off two placings with a win at Pakenham and it should enjoy running at Sandown. Inside draw only adds to its appeal.
Main Danger
8 Silent Shares
Dividend : $2.10
Place
F: 3x1B(3)W(59.0)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Gavin Bedggood )
Liked the way it broke maidens fresh up and it has more upside than most in this field. Punters get odds worth snapping up.
Next Best
2 Grinzinger Pod
F: x0836B(8)W(62.5)
( J-Jaylah Kennedy )
( T-Ben Brisbourne )
A touch disappointing this prep but it has been taking on fields better than midweek quality. 2kg comes off to help with the big weight.
Consider
4 Heinous
F: 150x2B(6)W(60.0)
( J-Zac Spain )
( T-Jason Warren )
A solid second placing fresh up and that could pave the way for a nice campaign. Just needs a touch of luck from an awkward draw.
Longer Odds
10 Versaille
F: 6x493B(4)W(59.0)
( J-Luke Cartwright )
( T-Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman )
Third last start and dropping to 56kg should see it run well at nice odds.

Best "Each Way"
11 Pink Chandon
F: x5304B(3)W(57.5)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Glen Thompson )
It looks ready to run a good race after showing glimpses of good form against stronger fields. Drawn well and punters get value each-way odds.
Main Danger
2 Queen Of Tuscany
F: 42221B(4)W(61.0)
( J-Sheridan Clarke )
( T-Robbie Griffiths )
Winning form is good form after scoring at Pakenham. Yet to fire at Sandown but with 3kg coming off, that could change.
Next Best
1 Zambezi Khan
F: 5214xB(9)W(63.0)
( J-Tom Prebble )
( T-Patrick & Michelle Payne )
A past fresh up winner and it runs its best races on good tracks, with four wins and five placings. Good enough to handle this field despite the weight.
Consider
15 Justaboom
F: 349x3B(11)W(56.5)
( J-Ben Allen )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Threatening to win a race after two placings this prep. Third last time out is a good betting guide, so it should be right in the mix.
Longer Odds
7 Infinity Imperial
Dividend : $3.70
Place
F: 227x8B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Logan Bates )
( T-Liam Howley )
Better for its fresh up run and there is improvement to come. 3kg comes off its back, so include for value.

Top Pick
1 Jaykayann
F: 55x43B(12)W(62.0)
( J-Tom Prebble )
( T-Patrick & Michelle Payne )
Big weight but it comes off two solid runs, and getting 2kg off its back helps. Just needs cover from out wide to show its best.
Main Danger
16 Luvya Mumma
F: 13x50B(13)W(54.5)
( J-Harry Coffey )
( T-Liam Howley )
Disappointing at Flemington but its form prior was solid enough. Heavily backed after opening at $7.50, so that move is worth noting.
Next Best
10 Shezavixen
F: 138x2B(4)W(57.5)
( J-Luke Cartwright )
( T-Robbie Griffiths )
Nothing wrong with its form this prep, including a win and multiple placings. Drops in weight and it could be the forgotten runner.
Consider
3 Hoops
F: 80924B(2)W(60.0)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Mark & Levi Kavanagh )
Its second two back at Flemington is a good form guide and it could turn around its poor Sandown record. Worth including at the price.
Longer Odds
4 Morrissette
F: 22014B(1)W(60.0)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Reece Goodwin )
Not the easiest runner to follow but it should get a nice trip off the inside barrier, so include in picks.

F: 16434B(1)W(62.0)
( J-Jaylah Kennedy )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
Backed and beaten a few times this prep, but it does own a win this time in. Drawn to get all favours and it could make the most of it.
Main Danger
11 Houdini
F: 5x681B(7)W(59.5)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Gavin Bedggood )
Drifting odds but it was a good winner last time out at Pakenham, and it could keep that form going. Another good ride for Zahra.
Next Best
10 Fabrice
F: 73322B(12)W(59.5)
( J-Dakotah Keane )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Looking to cap off four consecutive placings with a win and it meets an even betting field. 3kg comes off its back.
Consider
4 Nodachi
Dividend : $6.20, $2.00
Won
F: 27142B(9)W(62.0)
( J-Tom Prebble )
( T-Dominic Sutton )
Three starts at Sandown for a win and a placing. Tough to overlook that form and it has had some specking at a price.
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
9 Easy Dun
F: 7258xB(8)W(59.5)
( J-Harry Coffey )
( T-Andrew Noblet )
Fresh up form reads well and it's sneaking under the radar. Shouldn't be far away from them.

Place
F: x1x41B(3)W(58.5)
( J-Beau Mertens )

Liked the way it stretched its head out when winning last start. Could be the start of more success, and the odds are generous.

17 Trembles
Dividend : $4.10, $2.10
Won
F: 3x1B(8)W(54.5)
( J-Dakotah Keane )
( T-Antony & Sam Freedman )
A good fresh up winner and it comes from a good stable. Well-backed and dropping to 51.5kg should make it very tough to hold out.
Next Best
16 Egerton
F: 22x11B(5)W(56.0)
( J-Patrick Moloney )
( T-Cliff Brown )
Consistent with consecutive wins to start this prep. Paying nice odds considering its form, and it's another strong winning hope.
Consider
6 Martial Music
F: x218xB(11)W(61.0)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
A two-time fresh up winner, so that bodes well. Yet to race at this track but it should suit, and it's a four-time winner over the distance.
Longer Odds
12 Scully
F: 949x3B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Harry Coffey )
( T-Andrew Noblet )
A solid fresh up run is there is improvement to come. Could be worth including at the price.
