Place
F: 25433B(6)W(60.0)
( J-Harry Coffey )
( T-Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young )
Threatening to win a race after posting numerous placings. It doesn't need to improve too much to handle this field, so include for value.
Consider
14 Foire De Trone
F: 21344B(11)W(54.0)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Another consistent runner that was good enough to score earlier this preparation. Dropping to 54kg should make it tough to beat.
Longer Odds
10 Suffolk Star
F: 34221B(7)W(57.5)
( J-Celine Gaudray )
( T-Paul Preusker )
Capped off consistent form with a win, and it could kick on with it. Well worth including at the odds.

Top Pick
3 Sea Poem
F: 75115B(1)W(59.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
It couldn't quite win three on the bounce last time out, but it's still running well. Anything close to its best would be good enough to win.
Main Danger
8 Altermatum
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 122x3B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Harry Coffey )
( T-Tony & Calvin McEvoy )

7 Normandy Lass
Dividend : $3.00, $1.00
Won
F: x1221B(2)W(57.5)
( J-Patrick Moloney )
( T-Robbie Griffiths )
Two wins and two second placings this preparation. Drawing barrier four is ideal, and it doesn't need to improve to handle this field.
Consider
4 Street Conqueror
F: x184xB(5)W(59.0)
( J-Lachlan Neindorf )
( T-Enver Jusufovic )
It's a former Hong Kong runner that won fresh up last preparation. HK form typically stacks up nicely in Aus, and it shouldn't be overlooked.
Longer Odds
1 Artistic Genius
F: 01754B(7)W(60.5)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Paul Koumis )
It won well earlier this preparation, and based on that, we're including it in picks. Just needs to carry the big weight.

Top Pick
2 Otago
F: 8x23xB(1)W(62.0)
( J-Luke Cartwright )
( T-Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr )
It didn't win in two runs last preparation, but it wasn't far away with two placings. Getting the inside draw and weight off its back helps its chances.
Main Danger
9 Astral Flame
Dividend : $3.30, $1.50
Won
F: 122x3B(7)W(56.0)
( J-Lachlan Neindorf )
( T-Enver Jusufovic )
In good hands and it's anothe runner that's never too far away from the prize. It has been heavily backed to score, which is always a good sign.
Next Best
5 Deep Pleasure
Dividend : $1.20
Place
F: 2x126B(5)W(59.5)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr )
It scored well fresh up, and although beaten in two runs since, it hasn't been far away. Specked at each-way odds, and it could keep shortening.
Consider
4 Riproar
F: 6921xB(2)W(60.0)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Gavin Bedggood )
It ended last prep with a win, and it has always had plenty of ability. Was prepped for a Derby two years ago, so it could hit the ground running.
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
8 El Tercero
F: 17x88B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Beau Mertens )
( T-Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young )
Better than what it has shown in two runs this prep. We're happy to give it another chance at the odds.

( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Gavin Bedggood )

F: 80x52B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Ben Melham )
( T-Chris Waller )

F: 72113B(7)W(58.0)
( J-Jamie Mott )

Consider

Indicative Odds: $ 7.00
F: 13072B(3)W(60.0)
( J-Harry Coffey )
( T-Tony & Calvin McEvoy )
Tough to the line last time out, which could be a good form guide. Gets all favours from the draw, and the odds are worth taking.
Longer Odds

Indicative Odds: $ 16.00
F: x2217B(9)W(61.0)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Reece Goodwin )
