Main Danger
4 Hovland
F: x6215B(1)W(59.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-John O'Shea & Tom Charlton )
It has form on the board this prep with a good win two back. It had excuses last time out, and the betting suggests that it will be tough to hold out.
Next Best
1 Catani Gardens
Dividend : $2.30
Place
F: x1817B(5)W(61.5)
( J-Tom Prebble )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
Already a two-time winner this prep, so the form is tough to overlook. Big weight, but 2kg comes off, and it could sneak under the radar at each-way odds.
Consider
2 Rise To It
Dividend : $2.40
Place
F: 40357B(6)W(61.0)
( J-Logan Bates )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Struggling to produce a winning run this prep, but we're happy to give it another chance. Another runner getting weight off its back, so include.

Dividend : $9.00, $2.60
Won
F: 73041B(2)W(56.0)
( J-Beau Mertens )
( T-Nikki Burke )
A solid winner last time out and it could also rise through the grades. Drawn to get every chance in the run.

Dividend : $6.10, $2.20
Won
F: 2x314B(12)W(55.5)
( J-Harry Coffey )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
An excellent winner two back and not everything went to plan last start. It owns a good turn-of-foot, so racing at The Valley is ideal.
Main Danger
6 Bluestone
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 13222B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Luke Cartwright )
( T-Michael Kent )
It's enduring a lengthy campaign, but it keeps running well enough. Consistent and getting 3kg off its back only adds weight to its chances.
Next Best
13 Fisherman's Beach
F: 4x136B(6)W(54.0)
( J-Jamie Melham )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
It put the writing on the wall fresh up before placing. Only fair last time out, but it was an awkwardly-run race. Should be better suited here.
Consider
8 Make It Sweet
F: 60651B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Craig Weeding )
It has always been a confidence runner, so scoring an overdue win last time out bodes well. Every chance of making it back-to-back wins.
Longer Odds
10 Chihuly
F: 79444B(9)W(56.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Greg Eurell )
Warming up towards a good effort after three consecutive fourths. Having Shinn in the saddle only helps.

Dividend : $3.40
Place
F: 21341B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Declan Bates )
( T-Nick Ryan )
Liked the way it stretched out late to win last time out. Having a lengthy first campaign, but its making hay while the sun shines.
Main Danger
8 Enna's Dream
F: 56x31B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Alexander Rae )
Well-backed to win last time out and the same has happened again. Looks like a progressive type that should enjoy The Valley.

Dividend : $5.00, $1.80
Won
F: 421x2B(1)W(59.0)
( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-Grahame Begg )
Nothing wrong with its fresh up second placing, and there is plenty of improvement to come. Inside draw only adds to our confidence levels.
Consider
5 Silver Cliff
F: 66116B(3)W(59.0)
( J-Jordyn Weatherley )
( T-Patrick F Ryan Jnr )
Good enough to win consecutive races earlier this preparation before running sixth. 3kg comes off its back, and the odds are better than expected.
Longer Odds
3 In Her Stride
F: x358xB(10)W(59.5)
( J-Luke Cartwright )
( T-John Salanitri )
Loves running fresh up with two wins and three placings. That form is tough to overlook, so include at odds.

Won
F: 1821xB(1)W(55.5)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
Expected money to come for it after posting three wins from four starts at Moonee Valley. A course specialist that owns an electric turn-of-foot.
Main Danger
1 Mornington Glory
F: 1173xB(4)W(62.0)
( J-Luke Cartwright )
( T-Gavin Bedggood )
A proven winner at Group 1 level, so that form is good enough to be competitive in this race. 3kg comes off its back to help with the big weight.
Next Best
5 Boston Rocks
Dividend :
Place
F: 3611xB(3)W(53.0)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Matthew Dale )
A speedy type that has looked good since moving from Sydney to Melbourne. Back-to-back wins and dropping to 53kg only helps its cause.
Consider
2 Midwest
Dividend : $2.30
Place
F: 13193B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
Another speedster that could pinch a break and try to lead around the turn. Good enough to hold off this field, so it can't be overlooked.
Longer Odds
4 Tiger Shark
F: x189xB(2)W(55.0)
( J-Luke Currie )
( T-Clayton Douglas )
A seven-time winner that owns a good fresh up win. Good enough to score a minor upset at double-figure odds.

Place
F: 36x0xB(8)W(60.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )

It could pay to overlook its most recent start. Better suited racing here and it has been confidently backed. That's the best form guide.
Main Danger
10 Behaviour
F: 13241B(10)W(59.0)
( J-Jamie Melham )
( T-Gavin Bedggood )
Already a two-time winner this preparation and it's good enough to add another. More depth to this field, but the odds make it worth including.
Next Best
1 Harry Got Styles
F: 96152B(6)W(63.0)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Matt Laurie )
Liked its win two back and it threatened to win again last start. Big weight at 63kg, but its class is good enough to see it run well at each-way odds.
Consider
12 Deepfloat Diva
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 32182B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Richard & Chantelle Jolly )
It doesn't know how to run a bad race and it scored a good win earlier this prep. Anything close to that effort is good enough.
Longer Odds
8 Boonie
F: 123x7B(11)W(59.5)
( J-John Allen )
( T-Tom Dabernig )
It's always going to improve with a run under its belt this campaign. Prepared to give it another chance at the price.

Main Danger
4 Oyster Lane
Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 22B(2)W(58.5)
( J-John Allen )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Knocking on the door after back-to-back placings to start its career. Nothing wrong with that form, and it has been well-backed to win.

3 Bacash
F: 23x12B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
Experience could count for plenty in this race, and it has been rock-solid throughout its career. No reason why it can't beat the inexperienced field.
Consider
9 Samudra
F: 1xB(1)W(56.5)
( J-Jamie Melham )
( T-Mark Walker )
A debut winner at Sandown for Mark Walker. It gets the inside draw and its breeding suggests that it won't be its last win. Could be going under the radar.
Longer Odds
1 Hello Romeo
F: 8x142B(5)W(60.0)
( J-Jackson Radley )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
It went down fighting in a tough race last start, which should give punters confidence. Worth including at the odds.

F: x2311B(6)W(59.0)

It has turned the corner recently with back-to-back wins. A former European and the penny has dropped now, which makes it a top win chance.

Won
F: 28x60B(7)W(61.5)
( J-Mark Zahra )

Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: x3944B(5)W(53.0)
( J-Jett Stanley )
( T-Annabel & Rob Archibald )

Consider
7 Charterhouse
F: 08583B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Better than its form suggests, including a third placing last time out. Drawing well helps around this track and it could settle handy and kick.
