7 Global Exchange F: 31
W(56) ( J- Mark Zahra )
( T- Ciaron Maher & David Eustace )
Nice win but came on a synthetic track last start. Better form guide is the third placing prior to that.
Main Danger

3 Extra Brut F: 21
W(57) ( J- John Allen )
( T- Darren Weir )
Won
Dividends : $5.10 $1.90
Broke through for the maiden win last time out and that form looks like a good guide for this. Has the Darren Weir polish.

9 Thunderdome F: 3X831
W(55.5) ( J- Stephen Baster )
( T- L &T Corstens )
Placed
Dividend : $2.10
Took awhile to break through for the win but that came in nice fashion last start. Nicely weighted and will get its opportunity.
Include in Multis

2 A Fighting Fury F: 7X117
W(58) ( J- Craig Williams )
( T- Hayes/Dabernig )
3.5 lengths behind Brutal last time out which isn't the worst performance. Won back-to-back starts prior to that and the odds appeal.
Longer Odds

1 Seberate F: 00X96
W(59.5) ( J- Jordan Childs )
( T- Hayes/Dabernig )
Hasn't shown much in recent times but it has shown talent in the past.
Remarks
Could be a good form guide for the lesser-known spring races

Extra Brut is a solid chance

8 Lucky For All F: 177X3
W(58) ( J- John Allen )
( T- Darren Weir )
Placed
Dividend : $1.90
Opened at great odds but the punters have come for it. Tough draw but watch it wind up late and it should have too much class.
Main Danger

5 Al Galayel F: X1352
W(59.5) ( J- Mark Zahra )
( T- Ciaron Maher & David Eustace )
Won
Dividends : $4.40 $1.80
Talented import which has been a touch unlucky to not win more races. Gets an ideal run and only needs some luck in the straight.

12 Octabello F: 0X321
W(57) ( J- Michael Dee )
( T- Mick Price )
Has improved with every start this season, including a win last time out. That came nicely and that form could translate to city grade.
Include in Multis

2 Belgravia F: 461X4
W(61) ( J- Andrew Mallyon )
( T- Liam Howley )
Two-time winner which wasn't far away in its Australian debut. Must respect the imports and it could return nice odds.
Longer Odds

1 Snitzepeg F: 60192
W(61.5) ( J- Ethan Brown (a1.5) )
( T- Darren Weir )
Placed
Dividend : $2.50
Has run without luck for the most part but the talent is there.
Remarks
Significant money coming for the favourite

Lucky for All should go close

1 Written By F: 1114X
W(59.5) ( J- Jordan Childs )
( T- Grahame Begg )
Won
Dividends : $2.00 $1.20
Opened at $1.50 and has drifted out since. Has the class edge of winning the Blue Diamond and it could put lengths on this bunch.
Main Danger

4 More Than Exceed F: 108X1
W(56) ( J- Regan Bayliss )
( T- Phillip Stokes )
The best backed runner of the field at odds. Scored a good win fresh up and when money comes for Stokes-trained runners, take notice.

8 Roosevelt F: 18X
W(56) ( J- Damian Lane )
( T- James Cummings )
Nice winner fresh up and it has been primed with a recent trial win. Better than what it showed last time out.
Include in Multis

3 Gytrash F: 13X12
W(56) ( J- Luke Nolen )
( T- Gordon Richards )
Placed
Dividend : $2.10
Not trash, unlike its name. Has a consistent record in lower graded races but respect in an even line up.
Longer Odds

6 Robe de Fete F: 6X151
W(56) ( J- Mark Zahra )
( T- Robbie Griffiths )
Two wins from its last three starts and that's tough to overlook.
Remarks
Market dominated by the favourite but it is shifting

9 Shokora F: 264X7
W(54) ( J- Andrew Mallyon )
( T- Hayes/Dabernig )
Good thing beaten at Moonee Valley last start and the money is coming. Drawn to get a good run and the weight helps.
Main Danger

14 Shoko F: 112
W(54) ( J- Linda Meech )
( T- Peter Morgan )
Placed
Dividend : $2.30
Looked good winning its first two starts before being beaten at Sandown last start. Will enjoy the light weight.

1 Tulip F: 00X25
W(60.5) ( J- Ethan Brown (a1.5) )
( T- Hayes/Dabernig )
Won
Dividends : $5.30 $2.10
The class act of the field which will need to carry a weight for a relatively small type. Drifting big time in the betting but include.
Include in Multis

7 Istria F: 3X284
W(54) ( J- Damian Lane )
( T- James Cummings )
Overdue a win this campaign and it showed its true ability last prep. A win here wouldn't surprise many.
Longer Odds

5 Smart As You Think F: 32448
W(55) ( J- Regan Bayliss )
( T- John McArdle )
About as smart as we think but it has shown some ability at time. Rough place chance.
Remarks
Great betting field with numerous nice chances

Shokora is a each way chance

2 Bons Away F: 5620X
W(58.5) ( J- Mark Zahra )
( T- Ciaron Maher & David Eustace )
Has been well-backed to win at longer odds. Good form last time in work against strong opposition and it just needs luck from the deep.
Main Danger

7 Whypeeo F: 129X9
W(54) ( J- Ryan Maloney )
( T- Toby Edmonds )
Looked much better when running in Queensland and that form isn't overly strong but there's confidence and the light weight is ideal.

11 Marsupial F: 1124X
W(54) ( J- Craig Williams )
( T- James Cummings )
Has avoided its stablemate in Sydney which could be seen as a negative. Represents good odds and it should be included on the ticket.
Include in Multis

14 Oberland F: 0X532
W(54) ( J- Ben Allen (a) )
( T- Darren Weir )
Stormed home last start and deserved to beat Bryan. That form could translate well here so don't discount.
Longer Odds

12 Bryan F: 29111
W(54) ( J- Dean Yendall )
( T- Jarrod McLean )
Placed
Dividend : $2.90
In career best form and it must be added again over the odds.
Remarks
Tricky field with form lines coming from multiple states

Bons Away is a speedy type

5 Spanish Whisper F: 213X5
W(57) ( J- Jamie Kah )
( T- Hayes/Dabernig )
Placed
Dividend : $2.10
Former Kiwi which was always going to need the fitness in Australia. Respect now with that run under the belt.
Main Danger

8 Anjana F: 111X6
W(56) ( J- Damian Lane )
( T- Darren Weir )
Not much went right for it last start in what was a tough and action-packed race. Gets in well on the draw so consider a winning hope.

9 Reginae F: 211
W(56) ( J- Mark Zahra )
( T- Kris Lees )
Back-to-back winner coming into this and it will appreciate getting an inside draw around this track. Will look to strike at the top of the straight.
Include in Multis

7 Assertive Play F: 114
W(56) ( J- Craig Williams )
( T- Phillip Stokes )
Not helped by the wide draw but it was desperately unlucky when running fourth last start and it deserves respect.
Longer OddsThe 'Best Roughie'

18 Cross Legend F: 7X13
W(55) ( J- Brett Prebble )
( T- Hayes/Dabernig )
Another which got interfered with last start. Chance with some better luck.
Remarks
Even betting market with each way value

10 Night's Watch F: 1X213
W(55) ( J- Damian Lane )
( T- Darren Weir )
Won
Dividends : $2.40 $1.40
Wasn't suited at the weights last time out but it's a different story here. 55kg on the back and it's more suited around Caulfield. Big chance.
Main Danger

1 Folkswood F: 5X16X
W(59.5) ( J- James Doyle )
( T- Charlie Appleby )
The Europeans must be respected, especially from this stable. Proven customer and it only lacks the race fitness.

5 Our Venice Beach F: 328X2
W(57) ( J- Jordan Childs )
( T- Liam Howley )
From a stable that knows how to place their stayers. Good effort to run second last start and that form should hold up well here.
Include in Multis

11 Rising Red F: 331X2
W(55) ( J- Linda Meech )
( T- Busuttin/Young )
Placed
Dividend : $4.10
Resuming run was a good indication of where it's at this prep. Kiwi runner with every chance here.
Longer Odds

7 Sir Charles Road F: 13X01
W(56.5) ( J- Dwayne Dunn )
Booming win last start and although harder overseas, it could strike again.
Remarks
Winner gets into the Caulfield Cup

4 Osborne Bulls F: 121X1
W(55) ( J- Craig Williams )
( T- James Cummings )
Hasn't put a foot wrong its entire career and it deserves a crack at the big time. Will settle midfield and come with the final burst.
Main Danger

2 Home Of The Brave F: 30X21
W(57) ( J- Mark Zahra )
( T- James Cummings )
Looked professional when winning in Sydney last start over the likes of D'argento. Likes to roll forward and it could be lengths better than them.

8 Land of Plenty F: 11X21
W(54) ( J- Damian Lane )
( T- Darren Weir )
Placed
Dividend : $2.10
Was just off the pace behind Osborne Bulls two back before winning last time out. Tough draw but the light weight helps.
Include in Multis

13 Oregon's Day F: 15X55
W(53) ( J- Michael Dee )
( T- Mick Price )
Tough to beat on its day and although drawn awkwardly, expect Michael Dee to be positive and try sit on the pace.
Longer Odds

15 Peaceful State F: 110X2
W(52) ( J- Dean Yendall )
( T- Darren Weir )
Has been specked at odds, given the light weight. Include in minors.
Remarks
Group 1 feature with form lines coming from everywhere

7 I Am Excited F: 133X2

2 Ellicazoom F: X37X1
W(57) ( J- Regan Bayliss )
( T- Hayes/Dabernig )
Placed
Dividend : $1.90
Returned a winner last time out at Caulfield when scoring easily. Good form guide for this and only the barrier would stop it.
