F: 6X111B(4)W(59.5)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Cody Cole )
Unbeaten, and impressive, in 3 runs since being imported from Australia and with Opie Bosson reunited, we'll be surprised if it doesn't add another one to the picket fence
Main Danger

Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 1B(1)W(58.5)
( J-Vinnie Colgan )
( T-Ken & Bev Kelso )

Next Best
3 Track Tester
F: 51B(8)W(58.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
as is often the case with runners from this stable, showed good improvement on debut run to win with a bit in hand last start

Place
F: 89140B(5)W(56.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )

Longer Odds
9 Portland
F: 37222B(7)W(54.5)
( J-Tayla Mitchell )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Stephen Marsh runner than has run 4 seconds from just 8 starts. Less than a length behind Track tester last time so relative odds are good

Top Pick
3 Crackercol
F: 15157B(11)W(58.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
We've always rated this 4yo and thought it would come into its own over the middle distance races. So it proved in its first attempt three starts back and Craig Grylls can get it home again today
Main Danger
12 The Trendsetter
Dividend : $2.90
Place
F: 97271B(2)W(54.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Stephen Marsh )

F: 12570B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Lynda German )
Last win was over 1600m back in November but has been close up in 4 runs since. Matt Cartwright rode on that occasion and is reunited today
Consider
4 Gillian
Dividend : $2.80
Place
F: 91343B(8)W(57.5)

13 Amyer Star
F: 8X019B(10)W(54.0)
( J-Elen Nicholas )

4 Sweet Ice
F: 47326B(13)W(57.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )

Place
F: 2X541B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Opie Bosson )

Place
F: 12643B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Loved its turn of foot to win on debut but hasn't really gone on with it. Not a bad run when up to middle distance last time and a contender here today
Consider
2 Geneva
F: 09571B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Kylie Hoskin )
Trainer has been impressive this season and given she has put this one up in the Guineas, we respect her judgment

Stephen Marsh stable continues to take all before it this season and with the talent in the stable, sure to be putting its best chance forward in this race with $350k on offer. Unbeaten in two starts and can continue the trend

2 Thorax
F: 1128B(4)W(58.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )

Such a class act and interested to see stable turn to Opie to get the job done today. From 22 starts, sits on almost 50% strike rate
Main Danger

F: 51112B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )

Dividend : $3.10
Place
F: 11301B(6)W(56.5)
( J-George Rooke )

5 Single Red
Dividend : $2.40
Place
F: 411B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
A winner of last two of three career starts and certainly doing everything asked of it. Exciting prospect but this is a step up from 1650m at Waverley
Consider
3 Chilling Out
F: 3115B(9)W(56.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Signalled its capability when finishing over them two back and was up against a freak of a racehorse last start. This easier and distance perfect
Longer Odds
9 Savvy Donna
F: 24081B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Ray Fleming )
Although only winning a maiden last start, that belies its real capability. Had been running well in Stakes races prior

( J-Logan Bates )
( T-Ben, Will & JD Hayes )
Aussie sprinters are to be respected and this winner of over $3.2m will be sure to be spot on for a repeat of last year's win. Rails draw and this NZ born jockey is riding with a massive amount of confidence

F: 1132XB(5)W(59.0)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )

Champion 3yo that was third in the race last year and now resumes after a 12 month break. But has been trialled and sure to be fully tuned up

F: 14X32B(7)W(59.0)

11 Hankee Alpha
F: 50X32B(13)W(56.0)
( J-Logan Bates )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
We've been a big supporter of mare and surprised it hasn't won more races. Sticking with it but want to see it ridden more aggressively and this star jockey might well do that. But wide draw to overcome

F: 523X4B(11)W(58.0)
( J-Opie Bosson )

There's always been high expectations on this 5yo mare but has been unable to convert its 6 seconds to wins, in which case its profile would be higher. However, notice Opie rides today
