  Race 1 - Inglis Banner (L)

  Time: 2:40 PM | Distance: 1000 m | Prize $ 456000
• Top Pick

  

  2 Bohemian Rhapsody  

  Dividend : $2.40

  Place

  F:   B(3)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Damian Lane )

   ( T- Tony & Calvin McEvoy )

  Solid enough jumpout form and punters get value odds. Most debut runners, and it could be the best of them.

  Main Danger

  

  7 Angelic Rise  

  F:   B(6)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Mark Zahra )

   ( T- Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )

  On debut for the in-form Hayes stable. It could pay to respect the betting moves, which are often telling in these types of races.

  6 Streisand  

  Dividend : $2.20

  Place

  F: 2   B(1)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Ben Melham )

   ( T- Clinton McDonald )

  Having race day experience helps, and it fought to the line gamely for second. Thought that race would stack up well, and it should get every chance in the run.

  Consider

  

  4 Nasty  

  F:   B(5)  W(58.0)

   ( J- James McDonald )

   ( T- Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )

  It comes through one of the better trial efforts, where it defeated some of these. McDonald rides, and it has enough upside to win.

  Longer Odds

  

  12 Wings Of Glory  

  F:   B(10)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Jamie Melham )

   ( T- Ciaron Maher )

  In good hands and the Cup-winning jockey goes on board. No reason why it can't win on debut.

  The 'Day's Best'

  

  2 Sabaj  

  Dividend : $2.80, $1.80

  Won

  F: 122x6   B(12)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Mark Zahra )

   ( T- Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr )

  The betting drift is a touch alarming, but it's the best horse in the race. Luckless last time out, and it could be a Group winner in the waiting.

  Main Danger

  

  11 Nation's Call  

  F: 3x661   B(13)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Ethan Brown )

   ( T- Robbie Griffiths )

  The one they've backed to beat the favourite after scoring well last time out. That form is solid enough here, so respect the betting move.

  Next Best

  

  12 Angland  

  F: 90x04   B(10)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Jordan Childs )

   ( T- Grahame Begg )

  Better for two runs back from a spell, including a fourth last time out. Heading in the right direction, and it's another well-backed type.

  Consider

  

  14 Seven's  

  F: 14661   B(9)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Craig Williams )

   ( T- Annabel & Rob Archibald )

  It's going slightly under the radar despite winning last time out. Having Williams riding at 55kg makes it a winning contender, so include.

  Place

  F: x71x8   B(5)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Jamie Melham )

   ( T- Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman )

  Scratched from racing on Thursday and it shouldn't be too far away. Talented at its best.

  14 Vestas  

  F: 05x34   B(15)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Ben Melham )

   ( T- Clinton McDonald )

  Drifting odds throughout the week, but punters get better value now. Ready to run a bad race down the Flemington straight.

  Main Danger

  

  15 Big Swinger  

  Dividend : $1.30

  Place

  F: x151x   B(5)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Craig Williams )

   ( T- Charlotte Littlefield )

  Showed its potential last prep when winning twice. Gets in light and it hasn't been missed in betting markets. Should run well at Flemington this time.

  Next Best

  

  1 Front Page  

  F: 010x6   B(1)  W(60.0)

   ( J- James McDonald )

   ( T- Matthew Dale )

  It got tired at Randwick, and it was a hot tempo. Better suited here, and it has some big race wins on its record. Can't be overlooked at the odds.

  Consider

  

  2 Nadal  

  F: 417x5   B(8)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Ethan Brown )

   ( T- Ciaron Maher )

  Yet to win or place in three attempts at Flemington, but that could all change. An enigmatic runner that has the ability to beat this field.

  Much better odds than expected for a proven winner down the straight. Harder task here, but it could measure up.

  Dividend : $2.10

  Place

  F: 10x6x   B(4)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Tim Clark )

   ( T- Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott )

  It made a good impact when first arriving in Australia. Much better than what it has shown recently, and the odds are worth the risk.

  Main Danger

  

  5 She's A Hustler  

  Dividend : $1.20

  Place

  F: 12x11   B(6)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Jordan Childs )

   ( T- Grahame Begg )

  A lovely type and a former Kiwi at that. Knows how to win races, and it has yet to finish worse than second. Tough to omit it from picks.

  3 Jennilala  

  F: 7x824   B(3)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Declan Bates )

   ( T- Gavin Bedggood )

  Better for three runs this preparation, and it could sneak under the radar odds. Could be one of a couple of Jennis to win on the card.

  Consider

  

  2 Real Class  

  F: 0x065   B(11)  W(58.0)

   ( J- James McDonald )

   ( T- Chris Waller )

  It's a well-bred type that has improved with every run this preparation. The Waller/McDonald combo should be enough to take it close.

  12 Blindedbythelight  

  F: x1115   B(12)  W(55.0)

  1 Birdman  

  F: 25176   B(10)  W(60.0)

   ( J- James McDonald )

   ( T- Chris Waller )

  A good winner three back and something close to its best form is good enough. It ran well enough in the Caulfield Cup to win this.

  Main Danger

  

  3 Sayedaty Sadaty  

  F: 13301   B(4)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Harry Coffey )

   ( T- Ciaron Maher )

  Scored a deserved win last time out and that form bodes well. Maher is confident of a big effort, and he's a trainer to trust.

  2 Berkeley Square  

  F: 46643   B(6)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Luke Nolen )

   ( T- Dan O'Sullivan )

  A three-time winner at Flemington, and it could settle back and come with a withering late burst. Rock-solid in betting markets, which is a good sign.

  Consider

  

  12 Whisky On The Hill  

  Dividend : $7.40, $2.40

  Won

  F: 59135   B(8)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Damian Lane )

   ( T- Glen Thompson )

  A tidy winner earlier this prep before getting limited luck since. Could be the forgotten runner of this field, and it's well weighted.

  Longer Odds

  

  10 Interpretation  

  F: x0705   B(15)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Jamie Melham )

  Dividend : $1.00

  Place

  F: 21x15   B(6)  W(56.5)

   ( J- James McDonald )

   ( T- Chris Waller )

  The best sprinter in the field coming off a good showing in The Everest. Not the favourite, but based on its credentials, it should be.

  10 Tentyris  

  F: 1x311   B(3)  W(53.5)

   ( J- Craig Williams )

   ( T- Anthony & Sam Freedman )

  A massive performance to win on Derby Day. That's tough to forget, but it faces tried and tested sprinters here. A top two finish would be a good showing.

  Won

  F: x36x1   B(3)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Mark Zahra )

   ( T- Clayton Douglas )

  He got back to winning form last time out. The odds are far too short for our liking, but it's the best horse in the race outside the top two favs.

  Consider

  

  7 Magic Time  

  Dividend : $2.60

  Place

  F: 7x130   B(4)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Michael Dee )

   ( T- Grahame Begg )

  Everest form should stack up nicely in this company. It didn't have everything go to plan in Sydney, but the open straight helps its cause.

  Longer Odds

  

  3 Caballus  

  F: x1x51   B(8)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Jason Collett )

   ( T- Bjorn Baker )

  1-2 lengths behind the best in this race, but it also has more potential than many. Good enough to finish in the first four.

  1 Mr Brightside  

  F: 0x212   B(8)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Craig Williams )

   ( T- Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )

  Heavily backed throughout the week and we're not surprised. Likely the only runner game enough to keep Pride of Jenni honest, so it goes on top.

  Main Danger

  

  10 Leica Lucy  

  F: 4x432   B(8)  W(57.0)

   ( J- James McDonald )

   ( T- Chris Waller )

  Did the donkey work last Saturday and still finished second. McDonald rides, and it could settle handier to the leader and kick better than most.

  7 Pride Of Jenni  

  F: 0x171   B(2)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Declan Bates )

   ( T- Ciaron Maher )

  They handed it to her (once again) last Sat. Her form following a win is the big concern, but if the jockeys fall asleep again, it will win for fun.

  Consider

  

  9 Treasurethe Moment  

  F: x1223   B(3)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Damian Lane )

   ( T- Matt Laurie )

  The Cox Plate was the target, but it ran a credible third. The early set back this prep didn't help, but it could get back to its best on Sat.

  Won

  F: x1331   B(10)  W(57.0)

   ( J- James McDonald )

   ( T- Chris Waller )

  The best horse in Aus after winning the Cox Plate in tough fashion. Flemington isn't its favourite track, but it's the short fav for good reason.

  Main Danger

  

  6 Pier  

  F: 1x353   B(6)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Ethan Brown )

   ( T- Darryn & Briar Weatherley )

  Outside the fav, it's a very open race. That gives Kiwi runner Pier every chance to win after another good effort last start. Odds are appealing.

  4 Attrition  

  F: 93324   B(5)  W(59.0)

  11 Sweethearted  

  F: 635x6   B(10)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Daniel Stackhouse )

  It should enjoy running at Flemington. It gives it time to warm up, and it has a nice turn-of-foot once balanced up. Running at value odds.

  16 Actuality  

  F: 44x21   B(6)  W(54.0)
