Main Danger
3 Grinding Away
Dividend :
Place
F: 49257B(1)W(69.5)
( J-Arron Lynch )
( T-Michele Denham )
Lives up to its name, and it's the biggest threat to the favourite. It ran well three back when placing, and something similar would be good enough.
Next Best
5 Thiblos
Dividend : $7.90, $3.00
Won
F: 0x079B(6)W(69.5)
( J-Martin Kelly )
( T-Lloyd Kennewell )
Not the greatest form in the world, but the small field is ideal. It could improve out of sight, and upsets can happen in small fields.
Consider
2 Charlie Messy Hair
Dividend : $8.20
Place
F: 0x050B(3)W(69.5)
( J-Dean Parker )
( T-Jessica Pateman )
A solid effort when fifth two back. Chance to turn its form around after showing little last time out, so stick with it.
Longer Odds
4 Royal Beau
F: 0945B(4)W(69.5)
( J-Will Gordon )
( T-Jack Laing )
Its last two starts have been solid enough, and it could be sneaking under the radar at odds.

Top Pick
Best "Each Way"
4 Don Stefano
F: 9x979B(10)W(65.0)
( J-Dean Parker )
( T-Emma-Lee & David Browne )
In good hands and it gets every chance to turn its form around. Money has come for it at each-way odds, which is an excellent sign.
Main Danger
1 Mr Lincoln
Dividend : $2.30
Place
F: 06511B(2)W(69.0)
( J-Cillin Leonard )
( T-Chris Ryan )
Winning form is good form, and it comes off back-to-back wins. They were strong efforts, and it comes as no surprise to see money com for it.
Next Best
2 Guido
F: 0x644B(6)W(65.5)
( J-Joshua Parker )
( T-Mitchell Freedman )
Better for three runs this preparation, including two fourths. Warming up, and this race is there for the taking. Worth including at the odds.
Consider
11 Thurmond
F: 11165B(3)W(65.0)
( J-Tom Ryan )
( T-Symon Wilde )
Good enough to score three consecutive wins earlier this preparation. Only fair since, but it should appreciate this level of racing. Include at each-way odds.
Longer Odds
9 Shakib
F: x8447B(1)W(65.0)
( J-Martin Kelly )
( T-Henry Dwyer )
Better than what it has been showing this prep. Gets the gun run from the draw, so consider at odds.

Top Pick
2 Gram
F: 3x27xB(6)W(59.5)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
A nice type in the making that shouldn't take long to exit maidens. That could come here, and it's one of the better bets on the Mornington card.
Main Danger
7 Final Moment
Dividend : $1.80, $1.00
Won
F: 24x2B(5)W(55.0)
( J-Lachlan Neindorf )
( T-Clayton Douglas )
Heavily backed to beat the favourite following a second placing. In good hands, and this stable doesn't mind a bet, so watch for late markets.
Next Best
6 Tassorting
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F:B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Dylan Dunn )
( T-Jerome Hunter )
Looked good at the Mornington jumpouts, and having experience at the track is ideal. It gets all favours off the inside draw, and we're not leaving it out.
Consider
3 San Pueblo
F: 8x25B(4)W(59.5)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Marcus Fahler )
Nothing wrong with its form this prep, including a second placing. Runs into a couple of nice maiden types, but it could add value.
Longer Odds
5 Samand
F: x0x80B(8)W(57.5)
( J-Jason Maskiell )
( T-Patrick Keane )
Better than what it has been showing this preparation. Worth including at the big odds.

Dividend : $2.60, $1.40
Won
F:B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Clayton Douglas )
In good hands with the Douglas stable, that has been firing. Backed as though it's going to win, so follow the betting moves for the debut runner.
Main Danger
12 Wailea
F: 45B(4)W(55.0)
( J-Patrick Moloney )
( T-Shane Nichols & Hayden Black )
Solid enough form this preparation, including a fourth and a fifth. Drawn and weighted to get every chance in the run.
Next Best
10 Vim Vitae
F: 9x06B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Logan Bates )
( T-Liam Howley )
Nothing to recommend form-wise, but it has been taking on tough fields. Well-backed to win, which is the best form guide for this race.
Consider
8 King Tagaloa
F: 99xB(3)W(57.0)
( J-Dylan Dunn )
( T-Julius Sandhu )
Another runner that didn't fire in two runs last prep, but it hasn't been missed in betting markets. Could score a minor upset at the price.
Longer Odds
2 Square Deal
Dividend : $2.40
Place
F: 5x5B(5)W(59.5)
( J-Jake Noonan )
( T-Kelvin Southey )
Fifth either side of a spell, and it should be better for the run under its belt. Can't be left out.

Top Pick
2 Golden Spritz
Dividend : $1.30
Place
F: 2B(9)W(59.5)
( J-Lachlan Neindorf )
( T-Julius Sandhu )
A good debut run for second and it shouldn't take long to win a race. Tricky draw, but it has been well-backed, and this race is there for the taking.
Main Danger
3 Rosa Aotearoa
Dividend : $2.70, $1.40
Won
F: 440x2B(10)W(59.5)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Reece Goodwin )
Resumed with a much better effort for second, and that should be a tidy form guide. Likely to settle back from the wide draw and come late.
Next Best
11 Queen Victorious
F:B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Hannah Edgley )
( T-Richard Laming )
On debut and it doesn't have much to beat. Drawn to get all favours in the run, and it doesn't have much weight on its back, so include.
Consider
5 Octane Reign
F: 6B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Dylan Dunn )
( T-Jason Warren )
It found the line well enough on debut to suggest that it could exit maidens soon. Specked at each-way odds, so it goes into the mix.
Longer Odds
7 Chateau Vega
Dividend : $3.70
Place
F:B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Patrick Moloney )
( T-Matt Laurie )
From the hot Laurie stable and the inside draw is ideal. A win wouldn't surprise given its profile.

Top Pick
3 Regal Tycoon
Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 32x21B(5)W(58.0)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-John McArdle )
Two wins and nine placings from 11 starts, so it's yet to miss the frame. There is nothing wrong with that form, and it demands attention.
Main Danger
1 Shaalute
Dividend : $5.40, $2.80
Won
F: 21161B(7)W(62.5)
( J-Rose Hammond )
( T-Matt Laurie )
Three wins from its last four starts, and winning form can't be overlooked. Likes to sit on the speed and kick well, which is a good asset.
Next Best
7 Tsarine
Dividend :
Place
F: 1x2xB(4)W(56.5)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
It has plenty of upside, and although sparingly raced so far, it knows how to run well fresh up. Look for late betting moves.
Consider
8 Friendzoned
F: 05533B(2)W(54.0)
( J-Logan Bates )
( T-Jason Warren )
Knocking on the door after consecutive third placings, and only slight improvement should take it close. Getting down to 54kg is a bonus.
Longer Odds
6 Smoke 'N' Oakum
F: 1466xB(3)W(56.5)
( J-Nadia Daniels )
( T-Pat Carey & Harris Walker )
Fresh up after showing ability at times last season. The 3kg claimer riding could be enough to take it close.
