  Time: 12:45 PM | Distance: 1000 m | Prize $ 273600
• Top Pick

  

  4 Carnevale  

  F:   B(11)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Mark Zahra )

   ( T- Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )

  Bred to be good and it has been well-backed to win. Drawn wide down the straight, which isn't the worst place to be. Right in this.

  Main Danger

  

  5 Diameter  

  F:   B(8)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Damian Lane )

   ( T- Chris Waller )

  In good hands and its jumpout form has been good enough. Never rule out Godolphin runners on debut, so the odds are worth taking.

  2 Tornado Valley  

  Dividend : $4.70, $1.80

  Won

  F: 3   B(2)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Ethan Brown )

   ( T- Ciaron Maher )

  Having race experience could be a big help, and it wasn't too far away from the prize. Good enough to handle this grade of racing.

  Consider

  

  12 Saluki  

  F:   B(1)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Luke Currie )

   ( T- Tony & Calvin McEvoy )

  Nice odds on debut and it has been solid at the the jumpouts. No reason why it can't make a winning start to its career on Cup Day.

  Longer Odds

  

  6 Prince Of Portland  

  F:   B(7)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Daniel Stackhouse )

   ( T- Matt Laurie )

  The Laurie stable is firing and it could continue the stable run. Drawn to get a good run down the straight.

• Top Pick

  

  3 Makdane  

  F: 12132   B(1)  W(60.5)

   ( J- Craig Williams )

   ( T- Michael Kent )

  It doesn't know how to run a bad race and that consistency should be enough to take it close. Inside draw with Williams riding, hence the odds.

  Main Danger

  

  10 Party Crasher  

  Dividend : $4.90, $1.90

  Won

  F: 211x8   B(10)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Mark Zahra )

   ( T- Michael Hickmott )

  It's a runner that should appreciate running at Flemington. Likes time to warm up, and it has been racing well enough to take out this race.

  Next Best

  

  7 Brave Miss  

  F: 61331   B(8)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Jamie Melham )

   ( T- Anthony & Sam Freedman )

  Already a two-time winner this preparation and it can't be overlooked at the value odds. Should be close to the pace and kick well.

  Consider

  

  14 Giggenbach  

  F: 71211   B(3)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Beau Mertens )

   ( T- Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr )

  Seeking three consecutive wins, and although this is a much harder race, it has plenty of upside. 55kg on its back is enough to take it close.

  Longer Odds

  

  2 Lodbrok  

  F: 311x4   B(4)  W(60.5)

   ( J- Ben Allen )

   ( T- Ciaron Maher )

  It could be the forgotten runner of the field. Ended last prep with two wins, and it could fire up here.

  3 Champagne Hero  

  F: x8170   B(14)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Blake Shinn )

   ( T- Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott )

  It raced just last week when running down the track in the Spring Champion Stakes. It's better than that, so we're giving it another chance at the odds.

  Main Danger

  

  9 Arabian Prince  

  F: 3x56   B(7)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Ethan Brown )

   ( T- Michael Kent )

  There has been plenty of money come for it, which is a good sign. Bred to be handy, and it could pay to follow the betting moves for the fav.

  4 Different Gravy  

  Dividend : $4.90, $2.20

  Won

  F: 9x512   B(15)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Mark Zahra )

   ( T- Henry Dwyer )

  Another well-backed runner with plenty of upside. Needs luck from a wide draw, but it should have time to find cover and hit the line well.

  Consider

  

  1 Matahga  

  F: 211x7   B(6)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Craig Williams )

   ( T- Phillip Stokes )

  Ended last prep with back-to-back wins, and it could measure up after a solid enough fresh up run. Likely to sneak under the radar at nice odds.

  Longer Odds

  

  2 Obvious  

  Dividend : $2.70

  Place

  F: 8212   B(4)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Ben Allen )

  Won

  F: x3562   B(4)  W(57.5)

   ( J- James McDonald )

   ( T- Michael Freedman )

  Sydney form measures up well here, and it has been threatening to win a big race. Gets its best chance to impress, and McDonald rides.

  Main Danger

  

  1 Aleppo Pine  

  F: 2x417   B(5)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Blake Shinn )

   ( T- Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )

  Showed its true potential two back, and something close to that effort is good enough. Godolphin could have a big Cup Day.

  Dividend : $1.70

  Place

  F: 7311   B(6)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Mark Zahra )

   ( T- Anthony & Sam Freedman )

  Gunning for three consecutive wins and it could be a smart type in the making. It will need to be good to beat this field, but skys the limit.

  Consider

  

  9 Bold Secret  

  F: 3x5   B(7)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Craig Williams )

   ( T- Phillip Stokes )

  Yet to win a race from two attempts, but there has been quiet confidence with the stable. Could cause a minor upset at each-way odds.

  Dividend : $2.50

  Place

  F: x6064   B(1)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Michael Dee )

   ( T- Annabel & Rob Archibald )

  A good winner earlier this preparation and it hasn't had the best of luck since. Better than that, and we're not surprised by the late betting move.

  Main Danger

  

  10 Golden Century  

  F: 32113   B(10)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Joao Moreira )

   ( T- Chris Waller )

  It was fancied for the Australian Derby but it never got there. Nothing wrong with its form, and once it figures out what racing is about, it could be something.

  F: 1x542   B(8)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Craig Williams )

   ( T- Danny O'Brien )

  Improving with every run this prep, and it has been best backed to win. Knocking on the door, and although bigger odds would have been nice, respect the move.

  Consider

  

  5 Cadmus  

  F: x5036   B(15)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Tommy Berry )

   ( T- Anthony & Sam Freedman )

  It has been some time between drinks, but the talent was there. If it gets luck in running, it could finish over the top at odds.

  1 Cleveland  

  F: 8x476   B(4)  W(60.5)

  F: x3634   B(9)  W(55.5)

  Not having the luckiest campaign but it has more talent than most in this field. Ready to win, and punters get each-way odds to enjoy here.

  2 Apulia  

  F: x23x1   B(12)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Michael Dee )

   ( T- Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )

  Dividend : $1.50

  Place

  F: 950x2   B(8)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Ethan Brown )

   ( T- Ciaron Maher )

  A handy second placing fresh up and it hasn't been missed in betting markets. Race day betting could be key, so follow betting moves.

  Consider

  

  8 Molly Bloom  

  F: 9x030   B(7)  W(54.5)

   ( J- Damian Lane )

   ( T- Chris Waller )

  Rather disappointing since coming to Australia, but the talent is there. Just needs a few things to go its way.

  9 Garachico  

  F: 1246x   B(5)  W(54.0)

  24 Valiant King  

  F: 3x013   B(10)  W(51.0)

   ( J- Jye McNeil )

   ( T- Chris Waller )

  Not too worried by the betting drift. Its Caulfield Cup run was excellent, and we believe that is the best form guide. 51kg doesn't hurt.

  Main Danger

  

  21 River Of Stars  

  F: x7802   B(14)  W(51.5)

   ( J- Beau Mertens )

   ( T- Chris Waller )

  Another mammoth run in the Caulfield Cup, and it could be finally living up to its potential. Likely to ride the speed and give them something to run down.

  Dividend : $8.60, $2.90

  Won

  F: 15141   B(8)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Jamie Melham )

   ( T- Tony & Calvin McEvoy )

  Hard to look past its Caulfield Cup win. Had the right run, but it's a good stayer, and it could handle this field. Almost impossible to rule out.

  Consider

  

  6 Presage Nocturne  

  F: 13x34   B(9)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Stephane Pasquier )

   ( T- Alessandro Botti )

  We're sticking with the Caulfield Cup as the best betting guide. A top effort to finish fourth, and it was hitting the line with purpose. Looks ready to win.

  Longer Odds

  

  23 Torranzino  

  F: 80821   B(18)  W(51.0)

   ( J- Celine Gaudray )

  4 Bacash  

  F: 61321   B(13)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Michael Dee )

  It would be at much shorter odds had it drawn a gate. It will need luck from the draw, but it has plenty of class, and good early speed to boot.

  15 Ludlum  

  F: 21   B(11)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Jordan Childs )

  Consider

  

  2 Navy Pilot  

  F: 7x216   B(4)  W(59.0)

  10 Sulek  

  F: 313   B(2)  W(54.0)

  15 Surfin' Bird  

  F: 17111   B(6)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Tim Clark )

  A strong type in the making that doesn't need luck to win races. Keeps rattling them off, and this stable knows how to place them well during this carnival.

  10 Gumdrops  

  F: 58x22   B(8)  W(55.0)

  5 Bossy Nic  

  F: 69563   B(5)  W(55.0)
