A nice type in the making that didn't enjoy being on the inside of runners last start. Should be better coming wide around the home turn.
Main Danger
3 Ikasara
F: 45x0xB(8)W(60.0)
( J-Ben Melham )
( T-Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott )
Better than what it showed in its only run last preparation. Spelled, and it could come back a much stronger type. Include for value.
Next Best
10 Sea Poem
F: 51151B(11)W(57.0)
( J-Jamie Melham )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
Nothing wrong with winning form after posting three wins from its last four starts. Drawn wide, but it has good tactical speed.
Consider
13 Legacy Bay
Dividend : $2.40
Place
F: 2412xB(6)W(55.5)
( J-Luke Nolen )
( T-Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman )
It opened at double-figure odds, which were good value. Specked throughout the week, and it gets in with a good weight, so it can't be left out.
Longer Odds
6 Gracie's Rain
Dividend : $9.90, $3.30
Won
F: 1325xB(10)W(58.0)
( J-Emily Pozman )
( T-Michael Huglin )
Getting weight off its back should only help its chances. Fresh up and good enough to run a big race.

Best "Each Way"
13 Hot Too Go
F: 12371B(4)W(56.0)
( J-Jamie Melham )
( T-Danny O'Brien )
A tough winner last time out when holding out the favourite. It has always had plenty of ability, and it was tried in tough races early. Looks to have found its level.
Main Danger
1 Black Run
Dividend : $3.40, $1.80
Won
F: 28x21B(7)W(61.0)
( J-Ryan Houston )
( T-Annabel & Rob Archibald )
An Irish-bred runner coming off a gutsy win. That should be a good form guide, and it hasn't been missed in betting markets.
Next Best
6 Tikemyson
Dividend : $3.00
Place
F: 41421B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Harry Coffey )
( T-Symon Wilde )
Already a two-time winner this prep, and it's good enough to add another win to its record. Could be going under the radar at double-figure odds.
Consider
9 Almairac
F: 00204B(11)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Cliff Brown )
Not always the most consistent type going around but its effort for fourth last time out was good. Having Williams riding doesn't hurt.
Longer Odds
3 Lodbrok
F: 11x49B(2)W(60.0)
( J-Ben Allen )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Not disgraced in a tough field during Cup Week. Happy to give it another chance at the odds.

9 Skippers Canyon
Dividend : $6.20, $2.10
Won
F: 0x12xB(6)W(58.5)
( J-Lachlan Neindorf )
( T-Phillip Stokes )
The former Kiwi ran well last preparation, and it looks set for a good return. This distance is good enough fresh up, and it could have the class edge.
Main Danger
1 Nation's Call
F: x6616B(9)W(62.0)
( J-Logan Bates )
( T-Robbie Griffiths )
Not easy to back up after a week, but it keeps running well. Should appreciate the better conditions, and 2kg comes off its back from Bates.
Next Best
7 Nearing Liberty
Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: x1623B(1)W(58.5)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Matthew Brown )
Liked the way it found the line for third last start when getting a touch unlucky. That form should hold up well here, and it draws the rails.
Consider
11 Sigiriya Rock
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 37x51B(10)W(58.0)
( J-Ben Melham )
( T-Chris Waller )
A quality type when it puts everything together. That was evident last time out, and it's good enough to handle the rise in class.
Longer Odds
2 Hiyaam Proud
F: x76x6B(7)W(60.0)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Matt Laurie )
It's much better than what its form suggests. Showed stakes-level ability earlier, and that form could come back to play.

6 Beast Mode
Dividend : $1.30
Place
F: 42211B(9)W(55.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
Likely to sit on the pace and kick strongly, which is a good asset to have around Caulfield. Lovely form this prep, so back again.
Main Danger
4 Hedged
Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 35x26B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Beau Mertens )
( T-Gavin Bedggood )
Hit the line strongly last start, which should be another good form guide. Looks ready to win, but it will need to be handy to the pace.
Next Best
2 Sghirripa
F: 029x7B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Shane & Cassie Oxlade )
Better than its recent form suggests, and it's another runner that can sit handy and give a good kick. Could sneak under the radar.
Consider
10 Boston Rocks
Dividend : $6.00, $1.80
Won
F: x3937B(5)W(54.0)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Matthew Dale )
A speedster that won many races in Sydney before trying its hand elsewhere. Gets down in the weights, which should take it close.
Longer Odds
8 Grinzinger Prince
F: 206x1B(10)W(54.0)
( J-Lachlan Neindorf )
( T-Cody Reardon )
A good winner fresh up and the penny might have dropped now. Can't be overlooked at the odds.

Place
F: 11155B(1)W(56.0)
( J-Luke Nolen )
( T-Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman )
It didn't enjoy the conditions last week, but being on the quick back-up suggests it has been working well. A talented type in the making.
Main Danger
4 Precious Charm
F: 206x1B(5)W(56.0)
( J-Thomas Stockdale )
( T-Symon Wilde )
Nice odds for a runner coming off a good win. A tough customer that should sit handy and give value punters a good sight.
Next Best
3 Roll On High
F: 6x672B(7)W(56.0)
( J-Luke Currie )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
It doesn't win all that often, but it was a good second placing last start. A touch shorter in the betting than we would have expected, but include in picks.
Consider
2 Molly Bloom
F: x0308B(8)W(56.0)
( J-Ben Melham )
( T-Chris Waller )
It's D-Day for the Kiwi. Its form has tapered off since leaving NZ, but it's a Group 1 winner and this field isn't up to that quality.
Longer Odds
5 Barbie'sdreamworld
Dividend : $2.90
Place
F: x3112B(6)W(56.0)
( J-Declan Bates )
( T-Peter Chow )
A consistent runner that has been performing well this season. Not an easy field to beat, but it's capable.

7 More Territories
F: 2x830B(3)W(55.0)
( J-Jamie Melham )
( T-John O'Shea & Tom Charlton )
Not everything has been going its way, and it's a runner that needs a touch of luck from back in the field. Armed with a turn-of-foot.
Main Danger
8 Vestas
F: 05x34B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Ben Melham )
( T-Clinton McDonald )
Another runner that will get back in the run and flash home late. Needs some pace on up front, but it should get its chance.

Place
F: 43x3xB(12)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Williams )

Never too far away from the prize and it could settle handy and give a good kick. Can't be left out at each-way odds in an even race.
Consider
1 She's Bulletproof
Dividend : $2.30
Place
F: 5x010B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Ben Allen )

A good winner two back, and although it didn't fire last time out, it could bounce back from that effort. Worth considering.
Longer Odds
4 Extratwo
F: 4x835B(2)W(55.0)
( J-Ethan Brown )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
It should get every chance from the draw and be right in the thick of the finish. Can't be ruled out.

F: 12x31B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Luke Nolen )
( T-Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman )
It showed an electric turn-of-foot to clear a pocket and sprint away with it last start. Could be a very nice type in the making, hence the odds.
Main Danger
2 Burma Star
F: x2121B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Ben Melham )
( T-Chris Waller )
Nothing wrong with its win during Cup Week, and it could double down on that effort. Drawn well, and it should get every chance.

Consider
7 Pictor
F: x7134B(9)W(57.0)
( J-Jamie Melham )
( T-Chris Waller )
Still figuring out what the racing game is all about, and it could have more upside than most in this race. Include in picks for value.
Longer Odds
1 Call Da Vinci
F: 33x25B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Bevan Laming )
Close enough in two starts this prep, and it could run another good race at double-figure odds.
