Main Danger
3 Jewels Captain
F: 434x3B(3)W(58.0)
( J-Todd Pannell )
( T-Sarah Rutten )
Nothing wrong with its fresh up placing and it's another well-backed runner in this field. Drawn to control things and run well.

F: 200x2B(1)W(56.0)
( J-Rochelle Milnes )

Didn't fire at the end of its last prep but we like the way it ran fresh up this prep. Inside draw suits in the small field, so include in picks.

Dividend :
Place
F: 2x5B(2)W(58.0)
( J-Dean Yendall )
( T-Paul Preusker )
A solid start to its career and it wasn't all that far away last time out. Punters get each-way odds and it's good enough to cause a minor upset.
Longer Odds
8 Sharoha
F: 8x660B(5)W(56.0)
( J-Sairyn Fawke )
( T-Raharna McDonald )
Massive odds but upsets can happen in small fields. Could boost payouts.

Place
F: 4362B(6)W(57.5)
( J-Cian MacRedmond )
( T-Tony & Calvin McEvoy )
It shouldn't take long to exit maidens. Four starts for two placings and we're not worried by the drifting odds. It goes on top.
Main Danger
2 Alpine Honey
F: 4B(1)W(59.5)
( J-Dean Yendall )
( T-Paul Preusker )
A solid effort on debut and there has been solid money come for it. Inside draw could be enough to take it close here.

Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 32826B(5)W(59.5)
( J-Will Gordon )
( T-Vincent Malady )

Consider
4 Just Landed
F: 22625B(8)W(59.5)
( J-Brad Rawiller )
( T-Erin Maher )

Won
F:B(4)W(55.0)
( J-Neil Farley )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
On debut after some solid jumpout form, and money has come for it thick and fast. That's a good sign for a Maher-trained runner.
Main Danger
3 Moaksun
Dividend : $1.10
Place
F: 22332B(7)W(59.5)
( J-Will Gordon )
( T-Henry Dwyer )
Five consecutive placings and that form is tough to overlook. It has been heavily backed, so there are no excuses this time around.
Next Best
11 Spirado
F:B(3)W(55.0)
( J-Linda Meech )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Another debutante from the Maher stable that has been well-backed to score. Good enough to beat this field, and it's worth following betting moves.
Consider
7 Petit Eagle
F:B(8)W(57.5)
( J-Teagan Voorham )

Top Pick
5 Cripps
F: 12xB(8)W(59.5)
( J-Will Gordon )
( T-Patrick Kearney )
Expected money to come for it and it has. Shortening odds, and it only needs a touch of luck from the draw to win this race. Should be going close.
Main Danger
2 Demojo
F: 18x41B(1)W(60.5)
( J-Stephen Vella )
( T-Kylie Vella )
Got the job done last time out and it's capable of going back-to-back. It gets all favours off the inside draw, so it's good enough to beat the short fav.

Place
F: 1x131B(9)W(61.0)
( J-Cian MacRedmond )
( T-Tony & Calvin McEvoy )
Already a two-time winner this preparation, and punters get better odds than expected. A bit weight to carry but it's worth including in picks.
Consider
7 Boulder Jack
F: 1758xB(6)W(59.0)
( J-Dean Yendall )
( T-Dennis Oliver )
It looked good when winning a race last preparation and that form could come back to the track. Talented at its best, so consider.

Place
F: x7615B(4)W(60.0)
( J-Will Gordon )

F: 83864B(2)W(59.0)
( J-Linda Meech )

A five-time winner and it just needs some confidence to get back to winning form. Its odds have halved, so it could figure in the finish.

Nothing wrong with its four fresh up and it could go close against this field. Solid enough odds for punters to take, and it has more upside than most in this field.

6 Mine All Mine
F: 11786B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Rochelle Milnes )

8 Reward The Sheriff
F: 76333B(9)W(55.0)
( J-Linda Meech )
( T-Nathan Hobson )
Looking to cap off three consecutive placings with a win and this is the race for it. 55kg on its back and Meech rides well around these tracks.

5 Favourite Child
F: x6205B(5)W(54.0)

Place
F: x1x3xB(10)W(57.5)
( J-Todd Pannell )

1 Rubamos
F: 2217xB(9)W(58.5)
( J-Taylor Johnstone )
( T-Aaron Bain & Ned Taylor )
Fresh up, and although winning the Mildura Cup fresh up isn't easy, it's a three-time fresh up winner. Could hit the ground running.
Consider
4 Military Expert
F: 30x09B(7)W(54.5)
( J-Rochelle Milnes )
( T-Gavin Bedggood )
Only average in two runs back from a spell but it's fitter now, so we're happy to give it another chance. One for value odds.

F: x6065B(2)W(59.0)

8 Untethered
F: 736x2B(4)W(58.0)
