The former Kiwi has been beaten at short odds recently, but we're hoping that's not the case again. Talented and long overdue.
Main Danger
6 Hammoon Heroine
Dividend : $1.20
Place
F: 32B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Jason Collett )
( T-Matthew Smith )
Best-backed to beat the favourite following two placings. That's solid enough form, and it's another runner that shouldn't take long to win.
Next Best
4 The Big Blue
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 0x323B(2)W(59.0)
( J-Zac Lloyd )
( T-John O'Shea & Tom Charlton )
Another consistent runner with three placings this prep. Not an easy maiden field to contend with, but the odds are worth including in picks.
Consider
1 Extra Power
F: 0x744B(6)W(59.0)
( J-Regan Bayliss )
( T-John P Thompson )
Better than what it has been showing this preparation, but it hasn't been too far away recently. Could sneak under the radar.
Longer Odds
8 Pitch 'N' Toss
F: x0592B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Jess Taylor )
( T-Theresa Bateup )
Turned its form around with a last-start placing. Chance if that form comes to the table.

Race 2 - The Agency Real Estate Mdn Handicap
Time: 4:10 PM | Distance: 1550 m | Prize $ 111000
Top Pick
7 Koibito
Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 42B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Regan Bayliss )
( T-Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott )
Well-backed to win after running second last start, and it's not far away from a win. It will head forward and be tough to catch with race experience under its belt.
Main Danger
3 Officiate
Dividend : $2.60, $1.20
Won
F: 8x2B(2)W(57.5)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Chris Waller )
Better for its fresh up placing and the Waller/McDonald combo doesn't miss often. Drawn well, but watch late for betting moves.
Next Best
6 Sigma
F: 7224B(9)W(57.0)
( J-Tim Clark )
( T-Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott )
Another runner that will likely head forward from the Waterhouse/Bott stable. All around the mark, so something close could be good enough.
Consider
5 Precise Star
F: 632B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Zac Lloyd )
( T-Chris Waller )
Nothing wrong with its form after posting back-to-back placings. Building towards a win, and it could improve enough to beat a tough field.
Longer Odds
1 Bendrodt
Dividend : $5.00
Place
F: 332x6B(6)W(59.0)
( J-Nash Rawiller )
( T-Chris Waller )
It ended last prep with three consecutive placings. Didn't fire fresh up, but it has room for improvement.

Top Pick
3 Condone
Dividend : $2.50
Place
F:B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Tim Clark )
( T-Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott )
Solid trial form entering this race and it's likely to head forward and be tough to catch. Late betting moves will be telling.
Main Danger
6 Night Agent
F:B(1)W(57.0)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Kris Lees )
Another runner on debut. Kris Lees often gets them fired up early, and getting McDonald in the saddle only helps. Worth including.
Next Best
8 Pimlico
F: 3xB(3)W(57.0)
( J-Zac Lloyd )
( T-John O'Shea & Tom Charlton )
Third on debut before spelling, which is always a good sign. No reason why it can't come back with a big effort.
Consider
12 Marsept
F: 3xB(7)W(55.0)
( J-Tyler Schiller )
( T-M, W & J Hawkes )
It also finished third on debut before spelling. In good hands, and the Hawkes stable knows how to get them up and running quickly. Include for value.
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
7 Nordic Viking
Dividend : $2.20
Place
F: 3540xB(4)W(57.0)
( J-Molly Bourke )
( T-John Sargent )
It has been specked at double-figure odds. Showed ability at times last prep, so consider.

Race 4 - Hyland Race Colours Handicap (Bm72)
Time: 5:21 PM | Distance: 1900 m | Prize $ 66600
Top Pick
3 Fioprospero
F: 52334B(2)W(59.0)
( J-Jason Collett )
( T-Matthew Smith )
A touch expensive for punters this year, but we're happy to give it another chance. Not too much depth to this field, so it should go close.
Main Danger
8 Luskaire
Dividend : $1.90, $1.30
Won
F: x4331B(4)W(55.5)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Annabel & Rob Archibald )
A last-start winner against easier opposition, but winning form is good form in this race. 55.5kg and McDonald on its back, so include.
Next Best
1 The Years
F: 65116B(6)W(62.0)
( J-Adam Hyeronimus )
( T-Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott )
It couldn't make it three on the bounce last start, but it went out awfully hard and got tired late. Should run close with a more conservative ride.
Consider
4 In Summer
Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 23612B(6)W(59.0)
( J-Anna Roper )
( T-Paul Messara & Leah Gavranich )
Talented enough to beat this field based on recent form. Scored well two back before placing last start, so it's worth including.
Longer Odds
10 Jacob's Time
Dividend : $2.70
Place
F: 30728B(5)W(54.5)
( J-Adrian Layt )
( T-Anthony Mountney )
Liked its run for second two back, and something close to that should be enough.

The 'Day's Best'
11 Central Coast
Dividend : $1.20
Place
F: 21xB(3)W(55.5)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Chris Waller )
It looks to have a bright future, and although the odds are drifting, it's good enough to beat this field. Form around some smart types this year.
Main Danger
7 Theblade
F: 4x4x4B(3)W(58.0)
( J-Zac Lloyd )
( T-M, W & J Hawkes )
The runner they have come for, but that's normal for Theblade. Keeps running fourth when heavily backed, but it should be in the thick of the finish.
Next Best
10 Golden Straand
F: 2126B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Jay Ford )
( T-Matthew Smith )
A nice start to its career, including a win and two placings. Only fair last start, but it shouldn't be too far away from the mark.
Consider
3 Mawjood
Dividend :
Place
F: 2128xB(5)W(61.0)
( J-Josh Parr )
( T-Bjorn Baker )
It didn't fire in its last run, but it looked good prior to that. Should have strengthened up from a spell, so include at nice odds.
Longer Odds
2 Walkin'talkin'
F: x8834B(2)W(62.5)
( J-Molly Bourke )
( T-Gary Portelli )
Solid enough recent efforts, and it could sneak under the radar at big odds.

3 Mergeila
Dividend : $3.60, $1.30
Won
F: 312xB(4)W(59.0)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Chris Waller )
Nothing wrong with its form last preparation and its odds could shorten close to start time. Take the current odds before they firm.
Main Danger
6 Akaysha
F: 123xB(1)W(57.5)
( J-Andrew Adkins )
( T-Peter Snowden )
It took on some nice types last time in work and it was competitive. A good debut winner, and it's best backed to resume with a victory.
Next Best
1 Harry's Bar
F: x3417B(6)W(61.5)
( J-Jean Van Overmeire )
( T-Paul Murray )
Not always the most consistent type going around, but it won well two back. That's a nice form guide, and it can carry the weight to victory.
Consider
10 Girijaala
F: 15xB(2)W(57.0)
( J-Tyler Schiller )
( T-M, W & J Hawkes )
It showed good speed when winning on debut, and it could resume from a spell with a solid effort. Include at value odds.
Longer Odds
4 Totoka
F: 96332B(5)W(59.0)
( J-Alysha Collett )
( T-Paul Perry )
It looks to cap off three consecutive placings with another tidy performance. Shortening odds.

Top Pick
4 United Kingdom
F: 6x5x2B(5)W(57.5)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Chris Waller )
Drifting odds but it should be tough to beat. Solid form throughout its career, and this race is there for the taking.
Main Danger
8 Ivan's Hero
F: 40435B(1)W(55.5)
( J-Jason Collett )
( T-Chris Waller )
Backed and beaten a few times throughout its career, but it gets another chance to produce the goods for punters. Barrier two is ideal.
Next Best
2 Captain Maverick
Dividend : $2.80
Place
F: x5222B(4)W(60.5)
( J-Benjamin Osmond )
( T-Chris Waller )
It comes off three consecutive second placings and that form is good enough to beat this field. 2kg comes off its back.
Consider
3 The Replicant
F: 31431B(2)W(59.5)
( J-Nash Rawiller )
( T-Joseph Pride )
Loved the way it found the line when upsetting the favourite last time out. It's good enough to beat this field and a similar performance.
Longer Odds
1 Wild Chap
F: 80341B(1)W(61.5)
( J-Siena Grima )
( T-Samantha McGuren )
Too good for them last time out, and it could repeat the dose. Chance at odds.
