Won
F: 2X32XB(3)W(60.5)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Matt Laurie )
A nice type in the making and it could resume with a victory. It hasn't been missed in betting markets.
Main Danger
4 Mornington Glory
Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 21242B(8)W(59.0)
( J-Beau Mertens )
( T-Gavin Bedggood )
A lovely type that enjoys the Flemington straight. Gives it time to warm up, so watch for it late on the outside.
Next Best
10 Coriolis
F: 3143XB(5)W(56.5)
( J-Jamie Kah )
( T-James Cummings )
Showed good form last prep when winning twice. In good hands with Cummings, and the odds appeal.
Consider
8 Cavallo Rampante
Dividend : $3.10
Place
F: 32913B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Dylan Browne McMonagle )
( T-Maher/Eustace )
Doesn't know how to run a bad race. Rising in class having won at Pakenham two back, but it's worth sticking with.
Longer Odds
5 Daily Bugle
F: 69X57B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Thomas Stockdale )
( T-Griffiths/de Kock )
Better for two runs back from a spell, and its best form takes it close.

Place
F: 73X11B(2)W(57.5)
( J-Tatum Bull )
( T-Moody/Coleman )

Main Danger
2 Carrazana
F: 412XB(9)W(58.0)
( J-Luke Currie )
( T-Chris Waller )
Confidently backed throughout the week, which can't be overlooked. Facing a tough test here, but respect the money and the stable.

Won
F: 9X21B(7)W(55.0)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Price/Kent (Jnr) )
Improving type that comes off a win at Sandown. That was a nice maiden effort and it could kick on with it.
Consider
4 Altruist
F: 76X12B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Price/Kent (Jnr) )
A winner at Yarra Glen two back before finishing second at Caulfield. That's a nice form guide, so include here.
Longer Odds
1 Nation State
F: 3X115B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-John Moloney )
Kicked off this prep with two wins. Can't be left out on that.

Won
F: 11281B(8)W(59.5)

Main Danger
4 Aperitivo
F: 15122B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-B, W & JD Hayes )
Nothing wrong with its form this prep, including multiple wins and placings. The early favourite, so expectations are high.

3 King's Taj
F: 6X711B(3)W(59.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-A & S Freedman )
Shooting for three consecutive wins and there's nothing wrong with that form. Rising type with upside.
Consider
9 Mr Trafficanti
F: 51124B(4)W(56.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Gavin Bedggood )
Good enough to win consecutive races earlier this prep, so it could be worth sticking with. Just needs the gaps in the straight.
Longer Odds
2 Podente
F: X0163B(2)W(59.5)
( J-Tatum Bull )
( T-Brett Scott )
Mixed form this prep but it's going well enough to figure in the finish.

Place
F: 12223B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Peter Gelagotis )

F: 846X1B(2)W(58.0)

Won
F: 64331B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Dylan Browne McMonagle )

Main Danger
8 Texas Tea
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 391X5B(8)W(59.0)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Maher/Eustace )
It was a solid enough fresh up effort and it has been backed heavily after opening at $14. Must be considered on that alone.
Next Best
2 Vasmee
F: X0372B(5)W(61.5)
( J-Tatum Bull )
( T-Nathan Dunn )
Indicating a win isn't far away when running second last time out. 3kg comes off, so it's right in the mix.
Consider

Dividend : $2.50
Place
F: 6X664B(11)W(60.0)
( J-Celine Gaudray )

Won
F: 24211B(7)W(54.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-A & S Freedman )
The penny has dropped for the former European, which comes off consecutive wins. 54kg on the back is another positive.
Main Danger
9 I'm A Dirty Rascal
F: 9X542B(12)W(54.0)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Waterhouse/Bott )
It had good betting support when running second at Randwick. Comes to Melbourne and it could find life a touch easier.
Next Best
6 Ruling
F: 44X41B(6)W(54.0)
( J-Jamie Kah )
( T-Maher/Eustace )
A former Irish runner that won well last time out at Caulfield. That should be an excellent form guide.
Consider
2 Regal Power
F: 96471B(5)W(59.0)
( J-Celine Gaudray )
( T-John Leek (Jnr) )
It got back to its best form last start. It has always had more ability than most, with 4.8 million in the bank.

Top Pick
3 Unusual Culture
F: 14X42B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Craig Williams )

Dividend : $2.30
Place
F: X4481B(8)W(55.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Travis Doudle )
Loves a good track with seven of its nine wins coming on a good surface. 55kg on its back should see it run close.
Next Best
4 Pascero
F: 78171B(2)W(56.0)
( J-Daniel Moor )
( T-Busuttin/Young )
Two wins from its last three starts, including a win at Caulfield last start. Confident, and it could win again.

Place
F: X8421B(5)W(54.0)

F: 0X702B(10)W(54.0)
( J-Linda Meech )

F: X7222B(9)W(62.0)
( J-Damian Lane )

Running well without winning, but it could kick off its 2024 with an overdue victory. Just needs a back to follow.
Main Danger
8 Call Him Iggy
F: 11B(2)W(59.0)
( J-Dylan Browne McMonagle )
( T-Maher/Eustace )
Unbeaten after two starts and it has been backed as if it can handle the rise in class. Could pay to follow that money.

3 Tasman Park
F: 22243B(6)W(61.5)
