10 Yesnova
F: 32B(3)W(57.5)
( J-Mitch Stapleford )
( T-Jason Coyle )
Nothing wrong with its form this prep, including two placings from two starts. Being up and running should only help its cause.
Main Danger
7 Rhetoric
F:B(4)W(57.5)
( J-Tommy Berry )
( T-Michael Freedman )
Given plenty of trials to prepare for this race, and it finished third in its most recent. Money has come, which is a good sign for a Godolphin runner.
Next Best
6 Portofino
Dividend : $1.30
Place
F: 697xB(9)W(57.5)
( J-Jason Collett )
( T-Chris Waller )
Didn't fire in three starts last prep, but they came against some decent types. Should be better prepared for a nice run this time around.
Consider
2 Zoysia
F: 6xB(8)W(59.0)
( J-Zac Lloyd )
( T-Chris Waller )
Spelled following a sixth on debut for Chris Waller. Should be better for run, and it hasn't been missed in betting markets, which is a good sign.
Longer Odds
3 Copycat
F:B(10)W(57.5)
( J-Siena Grima )
( T-Gary Portelli )
Another Godolphin runner that gets 3kg off its back. Trial form is good enough to figure the finish.

Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 552B(2)W(54.5)
( J-Rachel King )
( T-Chris Waller )
Capped off solid form with a second placing last time out, and it could go one better this time around. 54.5kg makes it tough to beat.
Main Danger
9 Tutto
F: 6x347B(11)W(56.5)
( J-Tom Sherry )
( T-Richard Litt )
Better for recent racing, despite being a touch disappointing at times. It will need luck from the wide draw but the money has come.

F: 25x56B(9)W(56.5)
( J-Tommy Berry )
( T-Chris Waller )
Happy enough woth the way it hit the line in two starts this campaign. It has always promised plenty, and it could go to another level now.
Consider
4 Menthon
F: 956B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Zac Lloyd )
( T-Chris Waller )
Another runner that is better than advertised, and that is reflected in betting markets. In good hands with Waller, so include in picks.

7 So Rebellious
F: 43734B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Alysha Collett )

Best "Each Way"
1 Artgirl
Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 3344B(7)W(56.0)
( J-Zac Lloyd )
( T-Chris Waller )
A runner worth following at maiden level. It keeps finishing off well enough, and with more racing under its belt, it should be there in the finish.
Main Danger
2 Capdiva
F: 353B(6)W(56.0)
( J-Siena Grima )
( T-Gary Portelli )
Getting close after posting two placings from three starts. 3kg comes off its back to help, which could be enough to take it close.
Next Best
9 Pazyryk
F: 5xB(12)W(56.0)
( J-Sam Clipperton )
( T-Michael Freedman )
Fifth on debut before spelling immediately, which can be a good form guide. Rock-solid in betting markets, so include for value.
Consider

Dividend : $5.40, $1.90
Won
F: 3B(4)W(56.0)
( J-Tommy Berry )
( T-Peter Snowden )

Longer Odds
15 Tennessee Dolly
F: 437B(9)W(56.0)
( J-Chad Schofield )
( T-Richard Litt )
Its first two runs were good enough to see it run well. An upset chance with cover from the draw.

Top Pick
11 Crimson Wings
F: 7x12B(9)W(55.5)
( J-Jason Collett )
( T-Richard & Will Freedman )
A good chance of winning back-to-back races after being too good for them last time out. 55.5kg is ideal, so it should go close again.
Main Danger
10 Lull
Dividend : $4.60, $2.20
Won
F: 513x6B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Tommy Berry )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Better for its fresh up, and although it wasn't impressive, it found the line well enough. Showed good form last prep when winning three back.
Next Best
1 Exit Fee
F: 7639xB(1)W(61.0)
( J-Zac Lloyd )
( T-Danny Williams )
Some of its best form comes fresh up, including two placings from three starts. Big weight, but the inside draw makes it tough to leave out.
Consider
2 O'invincible
Dividend :
Place
F: 6224xB(4)W(60.0)
( J-Olivia Chambers )
( T-Bjorn Baker )
It enjoyed a consistent campaign last time in work. 3kg comes off to help with the big weight, so it's worth backing here.
Longer Odds
3 Divo
F: 2x727B(3)W(59.5)
( J-Benjamin Osmond )
( T-Nathan Doyle )
A good effort to finish second two back, and something close to that should be good enough.

Top Pick
The 'Day's Best'
9 Monopolistic
Dividend : $1.00
Place
F: 1B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Tommy Berry )
( T-Chris Waller )
A lot to like about its debut win, and it could rise through the grades, as many China Horse Club horses do. Barrier two adds to its appeal.
Main Danger
8 Michelangelo
F: 658x1B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Jason Collett )
( T-Chris Waller )
It didn't have much luck last campaign, but it resumed with a good win. The penny might have dropped now, so back it again.
Next Best
3 Hereward
F: 2x421B(9)W(59.5)
( J-Ashley Morgan )
( T-David Payne )
Broke maidens with a good win last start, and it has always had more ability than most at this level. Likely to find the front and kick.
Consider
2 Botanist
F: 821B(8)W(59.5)
( J-Kerrin McEvoy )
( T-Chris Waller )
A winner at Warwick Farm last start, and it could drop back from a wide draw. Good enough to finish over the top with the right run.
Longer Odds
6 Valiant Bomb
F: 5x373B(3)W(57.5)
( J-Regan Bayliss )
( T-Jim & Greg Lee )
Already a two-time placegetter this preparation, and it won't take much to improve on that form.

8 Just In Time
Dividend : $4.00, $1.30
Won
F: x116xB(4)W(59.0)
( J-Zac Lloyd )
( T-Jason Deamer )
Kicked off last prep with two wins, including a fresh up victory. We expect a similar effort this time around in what is an even betting affair.
Main Danger
5 Cassiel
F: 12x49B(1)W(60.0)
( J-Anna Roper )
( T-Peter Snowden )
Disappointing last time out, but a bounce back effort is likely. Classy at its best, and getting the inside draw with weight off its back helps.
Next Best
6 Oakfield Duke
F: 469x2B(2)W(60.0)
( J-Tom Sherry )
( T-Kris Lees )
Happy with the way it found the line last time out, and that should be a good form guide. Good enough to handle this level of opposition.
Consider
2 Sydney Bowler
F: x439xB(7)W(61.0)
( J-Dylan Gibbons )
( T-John O'Shea & Tom Charlton )
An enigmatic type that looked good as a youngster. Chance if its best form returns, and we're giving it one more chance to impress.
Longer Odds
1 Hellfire Express
F: 6130xB(3)W(61.5)
( J-William Stanley )
( T-Nathan Doyle )
Speedy, and it could fire in a fresh up state. 3kg comes off, and it could add value at odds.

Top Pick
13 King's Secret
Dividend : $3.60, $1.40
Won
F: 11x31B(5)W(53.0)
( J-Andrew Adkins )
( T-Joseph Pride )
Stays down in the weights despite scoring a good win over a similar field last start. Should be tough to beat again, so put it on top.
Main Danger
7 Zealously
F: x1352B(14)W(54.0)
( J-Kerrin McEvoy )
( T-Peter Snowden )
Second behind King's Secret last time out. It carried 59kg on that occasion, so dropping 5kg could be enough to turn the tables on the fav.
Next Best
9 Spywire
F: 31x13B(3)W(54.0)
( J-Adam Farragher )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Liked the way it won fresh up before battling to the line last start. Seems to thrive in bigger fields, and it could finish over the top of them.
Consider
1 The Instructor
Dividend : $1.10
Place
F: 1316xB(4)W(60.0)
( J-Adam Hyeronimus )
( T-Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott )
Seven wins from 18 starts, and it only needs to carry the big weight. That's the big ask in this race, but class should take it close.
Longer Odds
4 King Of Roseau
F: 11x42B(8)W(56.0)
( J-Tom Sherry )
( T-Peter Snowden )
Nothing wrong with its form, and it's going under the radar. A win isn't far away.

Top Pick
3 Liberty Park
F: 0x073B(4)W(62.0)
( J-Siena Grima )
( T-Chris Waller )
Better when third last time out, and it's heading in the right direction. There isn't much to this field, so it could take advantage.
Main Danger
10 Lunar Lover
F: 13x35B(3)W(59.5)
( J-Ashley Morgan )
( T-Matthew Smith )
Better for two runs this preparation and it hasn't been missed in betting. Barrier three is ideal, so it should go close.
Next Best
11 Placid Pearl
F: x5433B(18)W(58.5)
( J-Winona Costin )
( T-Matthew Smith )
It comes off consecutive third placings, and if it didn't draw barrier 18, it would have been shorter with bookies. Worth including in picks.
Consider
2 Forbidden Riff
F: 43111B(15)W(62.5)
( J-Anna Roper )
( T-Richard & Will Freedman )
Shooting for three consecutive wins after scoring at Hawkesbury and Newcastle. Solid enough form for this race.
Longer Odds
1 All Hunky Dory
F: 4x152B(11)W(63.5)
( J-William Stanley )
( T-Adam Duggan )
Luck is needed from a wide draw, but its form this season has been good enough. Could cause an upset.
