A good run on debut and something close to that would be good enough. Spelled following a tough run, but this level of opposition should be right up its alley.

Place
F: 2223xB(7)W(59.5)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )

Scratched earlier in the week and it looks right to go for this. Four placings from four starts and it's good enough to make a winning run.

2 Unsnoozual
F: 2B(9)W(59.5)
( J-Luke Currie )
( T-Matt Laurie )
Nothing wrong with its second placing on debut and it only needs a touch of luck from a wide barrier. Should finish off stylishly.
Consider
3 Brutal World
F: 2232xB(6)W(57.5)
( J-Liam Riordan )
( T-Simon Zahra )
Another runner coming off four consecutive placings, and punters get value odds. Not an easy field, but it's good enough to go close.

Top Pick
6 Pleasing Smile
F:B(3)W(58.0)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
Drifting a touch with bookies after opening at $2.25. Comes off some pleasing jumpout form and the early betting support is a good sign for a debut runner.
Main Danger
2 Brave Danza
Dividend : $1.30
Place
F: 9B(6)W(58.0)
( J-Eoin Walsh )
( T-Matt Cumani )
Didn't fire on debut but there has been good betting support here, which is a good sign. From the Cumani stable, so a betting move is important.
Next Best
3 Gregoly
F:B(5)W(58.0)
( J-Luke Nolen )
( T-Phillip Stokes )
Only fair at the trials but it might be saving its best for race day. Another runner shortening in the market, which is a good sign.
Consider
1 Blue Ensign
Dividend : $2.20
Place
F: 74xB(2)W(58.0)
( J-Luke Currie )
( T-Steve Richards )
Solid last preparation, including a fourth. It looked to have more upside than those runs suggested, so give it another chance.
Longer Odds
5 Pierrobid
F: 6xB(7)W(58.0)
( J-Ben Allen )
( T-Steve Richards )
Spelled after running sixth on debut and it should come back much stronger. Worth including to add value.

Top Pick
9 Midnight In Minori
F: 8x676B(6)W(57.5)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Clayton Douglas )
Well-backed to win despite the form. That's a good sign, and with the short fav always finding one better, it could capitalise against this field.
Main Danger
4 Leaving Las Vegas
Dividend : $1.40, $1.00
Won
F: 2x222B(5)W(59.5)
( J-Lachlan Neindorf )
( T-Phillip Stokes )
Short odds for a runner that can't seem to get it done. Loves running second, but it can't be left out of picks at the odds.
Next Best
2 Celestial Option
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 4x378B(3)W(59.5)
( J-Lachlan King )
( T-Bob Challis )
It showed good speed to finish third on debut before running two moderate races. The smaller field could see its form improve quickly.
Consider
3 Gemofsixteencarats
F: x5073B(1)W(59.5)
( J-Brad Rawiller )
( T-Logan McGill )
Turned its form around with a placing, and it doesn't need to find many lengths to put this field away. Right in the mix.

7 Pride Of Pariah
F: 42084B(5)W(59.5)
( J-Luke Nolen )
( T-Patrick Keane )
Nice odds for a runner that ran well enough for fourth last start, and it's not an overly tough field. Could sneak under the radar.
Main Danger
6 Phoenician
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 26334B(3)W(59.5)
( J-Brad Rawiller )
( T-Ern Ewert )
All around the mark recently, including back-to-back third placings. Drawn well and it should settle handy and give a good kick.
Next Best
3 Grassy Spur
F: 75302B(6)W(59.5)
( J-Lachlan King )
( T-Frankie Stockdale )
Best-backed to win following a second placing, and it doesn't need to improve too much to win. Should be right in the mix.
Consider
2 Cuban Dawn
F: 54463B(4)W(59.5)
( J-Carleen Hefel )
( T-David & Coral Feek )
Another runner coming off a placing, and it adds to the depth of this field. Worth including in picks at each-way odds.

1 Clydebank Robber
F: 37226B(2)W(59.5)
( J-Sally Wynne )
( T-Susie Wells )
Ran back-to-back placings before finishing sixth last start. Chance if it gets back to its best form.
