  9 Tonkin  

  Dividend : $1.10

  Place

  F: 11x12   B(3)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Zac Lloyd )

   ( T- Anthony & Sam Freedman )

  Lovely form entering this race and its consistency could continue. Getting in with 53kg on its back makes it very tough to beat.

  Main Danger

  

  7 Beast Mode  

  Dividend : $3.30, $1.00

  Won

  F: 24221   B(4)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Craig Williams )

   ( T- Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )

  Loved the way it controlled things last time out, and it has been the best-backed runner in the field. Likely to adopt the same tactics, so include in win bets.

  Dividend : $1.50

  Place

  F: x1341   B(2)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Harry Coffey )

   ( T- Simon Zahra )

  Another runner with good form this preparation. Already a two-time winner, and it could add another. Not an easy field, but it has upside.

  Consider

  

  5 Major Share  

  F: 1152x   B(6)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Tom Madden )

   ( T- Adam Chambers )

  Good enough to win consecutive races last preparation. Something similar to those could see it run a competitive race at value odds.

  3 Red Hot Nicc  

  F: 71155   B(2)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Thomas Stockdale )

   ( T- Phillip Stokes )

  It also won back-to-back races earlier this year. It's a deep field but it can't be overlooked at the odds.

  1 Prince Tycoon  

  F: 12x   B(6)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Damian Lane )

   ( T- Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young )

  It didn't do much wrong last campaign, scoring a good debut win before placing in a tough race. Could come back even stronger this spring.

  Main Danger

  

  2 Napoleonic  

  Dividend : $3.10, $1.40

  Won

  F: 2x114   B(9)  W(57.0)

   ( J- James McDonald )

   ( T- John O'Shea & Tom Charlton )

  Lovely form to start its preparation with back-to-back wins. Not everything went its way last time out, and it hasn't been missed in betting markets.

  Next Best

  

  8 Snow Mercy  

  F: 211   B(4)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Lachlan Neindorf )

   ( T- Phillip Stokes )

  It got the better of a good field last start, and we expect that form to hold up nicely in this company. Good tactical speed, and every chance to win.

  Consider

  

  4 St Edward  

  F: 21   B(5)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Blake Shinn )

   ( T- Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr )

  Brings in different form lines to this race, and they could be the right ones. A strong last-start winner, and it can't be left out based on that.

  12 Tres Magnifique  

  F: 15   B(8)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Mark Zahra )

   ( T- Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young )

  A good debut winner and it wasn't far behind them last time out. Likely to get back and look to run into the race around the home turn.

  Main Danger

  

  10 Proficient  

  F: 1   B(3)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Michael Dee )

   ( T- Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )

  A debut winner looking to remain unbeaten. That was a solid effort to score, and it has been specked at odds throughout the week.

  Place

  F: 6x123   B(2)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Ethan Brown )

   ( T- Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )

  All around the mark this prep, including a fresh up win. Two placings since, and although it had every chance to win those races, they were in strong contests.

  Consider

  

  2 Stardom  

  Dividend : $5.00, $2.10

  Won

  F: 11x05   B(10)  W(57.5)

   ( J- James McDonald )

   ( T- Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott )

  No favours fresh and it found the line well last time out. Sydney form should stack up nicely here, so keep an eye on betting markets.

  1 Miss Celine  

  F: 5x349   B(13)  W(57.5)

  F: 1x334   B(3)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Ben Allen )

   ( T- Ciaron Maher )

  Last seen running well in the Thousand Guineas last week. Being on the quick back up isn't easy, but it's the quality of the field.

  Dividend : $1.40

  Place

  F: x3374   B(9)  W(57.0)

   ( J- James McDonald )

   ( T- Chris Waller )

  Not in winning form but it has been close behind some nice types. Best backed to beat the favourite, so it could pay to watch for a market move.

  5 Ruska Roma  

  F: 3x165   B(6)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Jordan Childs )

  Consider

  

  6 Sunlit Serenade  

  F: 20x41   B(8)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Damian Lane )

   ( T- Tony & Calvin McEvoy )

  Winning form is good form, and it's good enough to measure up to this level. Just needs a touch of luck from the wide draw to go close.

  12 Amedei  

  F: 05   B(1)  W(57.0)

  F: x5090   B(7)  W(60.0)

  4 Future History  

  F: 0x903   B(2)  W(57.5)

  Won

  F: 112x1   B(9)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Jordan Childs )

   ( T- Grahame Begg )

  The former Kiwi has done nothing wrong since arriving in Australia. Its biggest test yet, but it has passed the mark so far, and we're happy to back it.

  9 She's Unusual  

  F: 31721   B(8)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Zac Lloyd )

   ( T- John O'Shea & Tom Charlton )

  The big danger to the favourite. It could be a "she's" quinella, especially if it gets an uninterrupted run throughout. Win hope.

  12 Blindedbythelight  

  F: 2x111   B(11)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Zac Spain )

  More depth to this field but it comes off three consecutive wins. That form is tough to overlook, and it could go close with luck from out wide.

  Consider

  

  6 Movin Out  

  F: 4x097   B(3)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Ben Melham )

   ( T- Chris Waller )

  It gets one more chance to revert back to its best form. Showed good ability last season, and it could improve with fitness under its belt.

  1 Jennilala  

  F: 07x82   B(6)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Blake Shinn )

  F: x2159   B(6)  W(58.0)

  F: 8x271   B(1)  W(56.0)

  1 Pinstriped  

  F: x7957   B(3)  W(59.5)

  It loves The Valley, and winning the Manikato Stakes is a good form guide. Should be there to pounce and put them away with a big effort.

  3 Tropicus  

  F: x7x12   B(8)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Damian Lane )

   ( T- Anthony & Sam Freedman )

  A strong customer that doesn't mind a fight. Drawn just inside the favourite, so it could dictate where they are in the run, so the start is crucial.

  F: x1x73   B(7)  W(56.5)

  F: 15x23   B(6)  W(57.0)

  It should have won the Caulfield Guineas after getting no room in the straight. A lovely run in defeat, hence the short odds here.

  3 Options  

  F: 1131   B(8)  W(57.0)

  2 Antino  

  F: 1x542   B(6)  W(59.0)

  8 Aeliana  

  F: 1x225   B(7)  W(55.5)
