Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 2065xB(3)W(55.5)
( J-Nash Rawiller )
( T-Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young )
The class edge over the field and money has started to come. It also draws well, which is always important around The Valley.
Next Best
1 Home Rule
F: 61412B(8)W(62.5)
( J-Luke Cartwright )
( T-Maddie Raymond & Patrick Bell )
Another runner running good races this prep, including two wins. 3kg comes off its back to help with the weight, so it's worth including here.
Consider
11 Princess Que
F: 9x112B(14)W(55.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Simon Zahra )
Kicked off this campaign with back-to-back wins before settling for second last start. Easily good enough to get back to winning form.
Longer Odds
14 Fission
F: 147x4B(4)W(55.5)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Robbie Griffiths )
Not the luckiest horse going around, but it has a good record here three wins and seven placings.

1 Prestar
Dividend : $1.30
Place
F: 10318B(4)W(59.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Tony & Calvin McEvoy )
Happy to overlook its most recent run in a much harder race. Looks well-placed here, and its form earlier this prep is enough to put them away.
Main Danger
6 Rohesia
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: x6x12B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
A good winner fresh before finding one better last start. Unsure where to place it, but it has talent, and the early money came for it.
Next Best
7 Barari
F: 13B(1)W(55.5)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Scored well on debut before placing up in class last start. Not the easiest race to win, but it has been specked at each-way odds, so keep it safe.
Consider
5 Oliveanotherday
F: 21B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-Tom Dabernig )
Too good for them at Geelong when running at short odds. Drawn to get a nice drag into the race, and it adds depth to the field.
Longer Odds
8 Yuuki
F: 2x32B(3)W(55.0)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Tim Fitzsimmons )
Yet to win from three starts, but it has been right around the mark with three straight placings.

Top Pick
Best "Each Way"
2 Unflinching
F: 79x1xB(4)W(62.0)
( J-Logan Bates )
( T-Shawn Mathrick )
A course specialist that shows its best form fresh up. Well-backed during the week and getting a claimer riding only helps its chances.
Main Danger
6 Shirshov
Dividend : $2.20
Place
F: 336x5B(6)W(57.5)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Phillip Stokes )
Another short-course specialist that shows good early burn. Likely to settle close to the pace and look to kick off the turn.
Next Best
8 Grand Larceny
Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 1x12xB(1)W(56.5)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-M, W & J Hawkes )
Arguably the most talented runner in the field, but it's facing some 955m specialists. Can't be left out off the inside draw, but it will be under pressure from the outset.
Consider
3 Beast Mode
Dividend : $9.80, $2.60
Won
F: x2422B(10)W(58.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
A runner that can sit off what will be an electric tempo. If they go too fast up front, it could be sitting there out wide ready to strike.
Longer Odds
4 Rich Fortune
F: 4599xB(3)W(58.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Jerome Hunter )
Yet to miss a win or placing from three fresh up starts, and it could sneak under the radar at double-figure odds.

Race 4 - Carbone Lawyers Stutt Stakes (G2)

Top Pick
1 Vinrock
F: 11x41B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Matt Laurie )
Good to see it back to its winning ways last start. That was a gutsy performance, and we're not surprised by the odds-on quote.
Main Danger
2 West Of Swindon
Dividend : $4.80, $1.50
Won
F: 20x42B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Ben Melham )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
It has been contesting tough fields and running well. Second behind Vinrock last time out, and that's the best form guide for this race.
Next Best
4 Prestige Ole
F: 112x5B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Matt Laurie )
It could be a two-horse race, but it showed enough early talent to consider in win bets. Not much went to plan last start, so include on an each-way basis.
Consider
5 Hillier
Dividend : $3.70
Place
F: 9x124B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Annabel & Rob Archibald )
A nice fresh up win before rising in class and handling it well enough. Might need more time to mature, but it has enough upside to include.
Longer Odds
3 Highvol
F: 11x76B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Declan Bates )
( T-Nick Ryan )
Better for two runs under its belt this prep. Can't be left out as the betting suggests.
Drawn wide but it's a freaking talent that should have won last start. The best chance to run down Ka Ying Rising in The Everest, so it goes on top in the Manikato.
Main Danger
9 Alabama Lass
F: 211x2B(5)W(56.5)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Ken & Bev Kelso )
The Kiwi gets the best run from the draw, and it could lead throughout. No luck last time out after being wide, so include in win bets.
Next Best
2 Baraqiel
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 63x11B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Ben Allen )
( T-L & T Corstens & W Larkin )
Unbeaten at The Valley, and it has always been a horses for courses track. Love the way it found the gap to win the Moir, so include.
Consider
8 Skybird
F: 0x1x6B(6)W(56.5)
( J-John Allen )
( T-Mitchell Freedman )
No luck in the Moir, but that happens when you settle back in every race. Needs luck in running, but it owns a serious turn-of-foot.
Longer Odds
1 Rothfire
F: 427x9B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Nash Rawiller )
( T-Robert Heathcote )
It will need to be at its best to figure in the finish, but it's the best of the longer odds chances.
