Main Danger
7 Aviva
F: 97052B(11)W(56.5)
( J-Ashlee Strawbridge )
( T-Russell McKay & Ashley Harrington )
27 start maiden but has had 7 seconds. Proven at distance and we've liked the way this apprentice has been riding since her return
Next Best
5 Power Of Two
F: 67856B(4)W(58.5)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Richard Didham )
Looked a chance over 1600m at one stage over 1600m last time and, back up to 2200m, might take that this time

1 Baggio
Dividend : $2.80, $1.35
Won
F: 69433B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Triston Moodley )

This one is a 40 start maiden! Obviously has ability for them to have persevered and now up to middle distance for the first time
Longer Odds
10 Daniellish
F: 35606B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Maurice Forde )
Better run last time and Amber Riddell returns to the saddle

4 Enterprise Gem
F: 0X521B(6)W(57.5)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Michael & Matthew Pitman )
Pitman's run three of the 7 starters and Amber is riding this one again. The photo finish went its way over the 1600m last week and, on the quick back up, can be even better over the 2200m

Dividend : $2.25
Place
F: 39081B(2)W(60.0)
( J-Triston Moodley )

2 Proserve
Dividend : $4.80, $2.40
Won
F: 64741B(1)W(61.5)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Michael & Matthew Pitman )
Prolific performer and winner of 9 over recent seasons and Pitmans have it in good heart. But it has 61.5kg today and even a drop from Open class may not be enough for it to back up
Consider
1 Star Ballot
Dividend : $1.95
Place
F: 57312B(5)W(62.0)
( J-Kavish Chowdhoory )

Won
F: 73332B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Kendra Bakker )
( T-Lance Robinson )
Looked the winner here two weeks ago until an ex northerner, on debut in the south, finished over them all. Should be winning today
Main Danger
6 Big Exit
F: 94025B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Stephanie Faulkner )
Just missed two back with today's rider up, before finishing just over a length behind Russian Blues last time. That's good credentials for this
Next Best
4 Private Treaty
F: 22323B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Richard Didham )
Six times the runner up in 22 starts so deserves a win. And its best form is recently so should be getting one soon. Rails draw

F: 26227B(5)W(56.5)
( J-Kavish Chowdhoory )

Longer Odds
7 Just Henri
F: 25538B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Ashlee Strawbridge )
( T-Gay Robinson )
Running well and it won't take much to change for it to be winning. Maybe this switch to the synthetic will do the trick?

F: 250X2B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Jack Taplin )

Looked a lot stronger when resuming after a 4 month break and duly ran well into second. On a line through Into The wind and Captain Roy, should be beating the favourite

Place
F: 2B(8)W(56.5)
( J-Leah Hemi )

well supported on debut and ran accordingly to be just 1/2 length away. Wide draw to overcome but should be thereabouts

F: 47121B(5)W(54.0)

2 Ka Ying Lucky
F: 94637B(10)W(59.5)
( J-Triston Moodley )
( T-Suzy Gordon )
Trainer has a great strike rate when coming south and we can expect an improved run with this capable 7yo today. Not only is it now up to 1200m but it was a tough ask from gate 13 over 1000m last time

F: 93482B(1)W(58.0)

Ex northerner that came south after showing up well back there. Close up when highly tried in a Stakes race three back and if anywhere near that form today, it will win
Main Danger
2 Go Pro
F: 04537B(1)W(58.5)
( J-Amber Riddell )

Tried at 2200m last time after being close up twice over today's distance. Can bounce back
