Main Danger
4 Street Legal
F: 2x3B(6)W(58.0)
( J-Lachlan Neindorf )
( T-Phillip Stokes )
Nothing wrong with its two runs to date for two placings. In good hands, and it has been best-backed to beat the favourite, so consider.
Next Best
6 Winter Hail
F: 23xB(4)W(58.0)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
Showed good speed last prep when posting back-to-back placings. Spelled since, and it could return as a stronger type. Worth including in win bets.
Consider
9 Somersault
F:B(8)W(56.0)
( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-Grahame Begg )
The Begg stable has been firing, and it could launch a winning claim on debut. Solid enough jumpout form to consider at this level.
Longer Odds
8 Russian Sky
F:B(5)W(56.0)
( J-Patrick Moloney )
( T-Matt Cumani )
A jumpout winner that could sneak under the radar. Worth including at the double-figure odds.

Top Pick
8 Castellito
F: 5x1B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-Grahame Begg )
It resumed from a spell with a good win, and it could kick on with it now. Not an overly strong midweek field, and the money has come for it.
Main Danger
3 Mongolian Gobi
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 152B(2)W(59.5)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Danny O'Brien )
It owns a win and a placing during its first prep, and it has been well-backed. Likely to get all favours off the draw, so include in win picks.
Next Best
7 Bajaria
Dividend : $2.20
Place
F: 431B(9)W(57.0)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Peter Gelagotis )
It capped off consistent form with a win, and it's another runner capable of producing consecutive wins. Adds to the depth of this field.
Consider
4 Decanted
F: 2218B(1)W(59.0)
( J-John Allen )
( T-Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young )
Didn't fire last start but that came against a tough field. Should find this more to its liking, and its form prior was excellent.
Longer Odds
9 Dancingonmyown
F: 348x1B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Cory Parish )
( T-Adrian Corboy )
Add its name to the last-start winners' list. Going well enough to figure in the finish at odds.

Top Pick
Best "Each Way"
1 Hiyaam Proud
F: 1x76xB(9)W(62.5)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Matt Laurie )
Scratched from racing last weekend, and it has found a winnable race. It has form around some nice types, and punters can lock in each-way odds.
Main Danger
3 Opening Address
F: 780x4B(6)W(62.0)
( J-Thomas Stockdale )
( T-Liam Howley )
It was always going to improve with a run under its belt, and it hasn't been missed in betting markets. Should be right there in the finish.
Next Best
6 Shiny New Deel
F: 76731B(4)W(60.5)
( J-Celine Gaudray )
( T-Gavin Bedggood )
The early favourite before drifting throughout the week. That's only a mild concern, and it was a strong winner last start. Capable of winning again.
Consider
10 Entrusting
Dividend : $8.80, $2.30
Won
F: 66x56B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Ben Allen )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
Better than its recent form suggests, and it's only a matter of time before it gets back to winning form. Worth sticking with at the weights.
Longer Odds
5 Cavity Bay
Dividend : $2.60
Place
F: 453x8B(1)W(60.5)
( J-Caitlin Hollowood )
( T-Tony & Calvin McEvoy )

Dividend : $3.60, $1.70
Won
F: 04142B(2)W(61.5)
( J-Harry Coffey )
( T-Symon Wilde )
Nothing wrong with its form, and it could sit handy to the pace and give punters a good sight. Just needs to carry the weight to have a chance.
Main Danger
11 Leonchroi
F: 1x472B(10)W(58.0)
( J-Beau Mertens )
( T-Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr )
Building towards a win this prep after finishing second last start. Drove to the line nicely, and it hasn't been missed in betting markets. A solid win chance.
Next Best
10 Blue Ismay
F: 64x31B(14)W(58.0)
( J-Jamie Melham )
( T-Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young )
Exited maidens with a tough win last start, and it could rise through the grades now. Tricky draw, but if it finds cover, it could sprint best late.
Consider
8 Mickio
F: 41231B(7)W(59.5)
( J-Brad Rawiller )
( T-Matthew Enright )
Tough to pick holes in its form this season, including two wins and multiple placings. Better odds than expected, so include for value.
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
14 Wayed In Light
F: 7321B(8)W(56.0)
( J-Ben Allen )
( T-Shawn Mathrick )
Too good for them last start, and we're surprised by the double-figure odds in a very even race.

Top Pick
13 Tennessee Bound
F: 1B(17)W(56.5)
( J-Ben Allen )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
A good debut winner, and it would likely be shorter in betting markets had it not drawn very wide. Still well-backed, and it could go back-to-back.
Main Danger
11 Fluent
F: 1546xB(1)W(57.5)
( J-Declan Bates )
( T-Andrew Noblet )
Fresh up and it could hit the ground running this season. It gets all favours off the inside draw, and we expect it to be right in the finish.
Next Best
12 Marilyn's Edge
F: 2x212B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Luke Currie )
( T-Shawn Mathrick )
Nothing wrong with its recent form, consisting of two wins and two placings. Specked after opening at double-figure odds, which is a good sign.
Consider
5 Lake Forest
Dividend : $2.40
Place
F: x0332B(5)W(59.5)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
Getting close to posting a win after three consecutive placings. Drawn well, and it doesn't need to improve much to beat this field.
Longer Odds
3 Core Concept
F: x317xB(7)W(62.0)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Michael Jones )
It showed enough pace last campaign to warrant attention here. The odds are better than expected.

Top Pick
1 Proved
F: x111xB(5)W(59.5)
( J-Carleen Hefel )
( T-Enver Jusufovic )
The big bets have come for the unbeaten runner, which opened at $6.50. That price was generous, and it could firm into favouritism.
Main Danger
11 Scillato
F: 1140xB(9)W(55.5)
( J-Cory Parish )
( T-Lee & Shannon Hope )
Good enough to win consecutive races last preparation before taking on hot opposition. Should find this more to its liking, and it has been well-backed.
Next Best
7 Let'sfacethemusic
F: 0238xB(4)W(56.5)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr )
Not always the easiest runner to follow, but the talent is there. Just needs to put everything together, and barrier four is ideal.
Consider

Dividend : $7.70, $2.00
Won
F: 7417xB(1)W(59.0)
( J-Ben Allen )
( T-L & T Corstens & W Larkin )
A good winner two back, and although inconsistent at times, it could finish with a wet sail. Drawn to get a sweet run off the inside.

Place
F: 214x0B(10)W(59.5)

Place
F: 22x34B(13)W(54.0)

4 Sayedaty Sadaty
Dividend : $5.80, $2.10
Won
F: 11330B(3)W(54.0)
( J-Harry Coffey )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Disappointing last time out, but its form prior was trending nicely. It scored a couple of wins, and this race is well within its reach.
Next Best
11 God's Window
F: 6x752B(5)W(54.0)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Chris Waller )
An imported runner that battled on gamely for second last time out. Unsure if that's a good form race, but it was a much-improved effort, so stick with it.
Consider
7 Don Diego De Vega
F: 1x606B(12)W(54.0)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Annabel & Rob Archibald )
It hasn't quite delivered since arriving in Australia, but it gets another chance. This race is there for the taking, and 54kg is a bonus.
Longer Odds
3 Interpretation
F: 3x070B(14)W(54.0)
( J-Teo Nugent )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
It might have needed the fitness after spelling, and it usually gets warm around this time of the year.

Won
F: 3314xB(6)W(60.5)
( J-Nash Rawiller )
( T-Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott )
Likely to press forward and be tough to run down. A free-running type, and it could return from a spell in perfect order for Waterhouse/Bott.
Main Danger
10 Ahha Ahha
F: 2317xB(4)W(57.5)
( J-Jamie Melham )
( T-Clinton McDonald )
It owns two second placings from two fresh up starts, and it could be another to hit the ground running. Drawn well, so include in win bets.
Next Best
11 Tournelle
F: 32213B(3)W(57.5)
( J-Harry Coffey )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
It doesn't know how to run a bad race, and we're happy to include it in our picks. Battled on gamely for third last start, which is a good form guide.
Consider
4 Pentle Bay
F: 12xB(1)W(60.0)
( J-Ben Allen )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
A European import with only two runs to its name, including a win and a placing. That form typically holds up well here, so it has upside.
Longer Odds
13 Porsha Crystal
F: 02171B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Mark & Levi Kavanagh )
It's running well with two recent wins, and it deserves a chance at this level. Could boost payouts nicely.

Place
F: 16x1B(6)W(54.5)

F: 35337B(5)W(56.0)

F: 5x166B(1)W(54.0)
