Top Pick
3 Just Bolts
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 523B(2)W(58.0)
( J-Jake Noonan )
( T-Jamie Edwards )
It comes off consecutive placings and it shouldn't take long to win a race. Barrier two is ideal, and the odds appeal.
Main Danger
4 Rank'n'file
F:B(7)W(58.0)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-B, W & JD Hayes )
On debut for a good stable and there has been plenty of money for it. It comes off consecutive trial wins, so include it.
Next Best
11 Halvar
F: 20B(9)W(58.0)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Griffiths/de Kock )
We liked its second placing on debut. Didn't fire last time out but we're expecting a much better effort this time around.
Consider
7 Arctic Girl
Dividend :
Place
F:B(3)W(56.0)
( J-Joe Bowditch )
( T-Griffiths/de Kock )
Solid jumpout form and it could be right in the mix. Drawn well and despite drifting odds, it's worth including.

2 If I Was You
F:B(7)W(58.0)
( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-M & L Kavanagh )
Another runner with solid jumpout form in the city. Good enough to win here.

The 'Day's Best'
4 Ortega
Dividend :
Place
F: X532XB(4)W(59.5)
( J-Blaike McDougall )
( T-Michael Kent )
It looks ready to win and the wet conditions shouldn't worry it too much. Shortening odds aren't surprising.
Main Danger
1 Flying Knee
Dividend : $3.60, $0.00
Won
F: 2X2B(1)W(59.5)
( J-Craig Newitt )
( T-Clinton McDonald )
Two starts for two second placings, so it's another runner with plenty of upside. Inside draw should help.
Next Best
2 Foxmania
Dividend :
Place
F: 9XB(2)W(59.5)
( J-Brian Higgins )
( T-A & J Williams )
Didn't fire when ninth on debut, but it looks to have improved with a spell. Watch for more money coming.
Consider
9 Wayhere
F:B(6)W(57.5)
( J-Carleen Hefel )
( T-Bill Papazaharoudakis )
Solid enough at the jumpouts. A patiently-handled five-year-old, so the patience could pay off.
Longer Odds
8 Thalassa
F: 9XB(3)W(57.5)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Matt Laurie )
Could have improved with the spell. Worth including at the price.

3 Lolly Money
Dividend : $4.50, $0.00
Won
F: 4327XB(1)W(59.5)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-John McArdle )
Prefer to take the longer odds with Lolly Money, who should handle the wet conditions. Inside draw is a bonus.
Main Danger
1 Brier
Dividend :
Place
F: 2XB(3)W(59.5)
( J-Carleen Hefel )
( T-Enver Jusufovic )
Runs at short odds following a second on debut before spelling. That's usually a good sign.
Next Best
14 Nicoise Girl
F:B(3)W(56.0)
( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-Chris Waller )
On debut for Chris Waller and it has been specked at odds after opening at $21. That's a good move, so it can't be overlooked.
Consider
10 Miss Winslet
F: 4B(5)W(56.0)
( J-Liam Riordan )
( T-L & T Corstens )
Didn't jump well on debut at Terang but it made up solid ground late. Good enough to figure in the finish.
Longer Odds

9 Katerini
F:B(8)W(56.0)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Chris Waller )
Another Waller debutante, which won a Flemington jumpout to prepare.

Top Pick
6 Mariner's Dream
Dividend :
Place
F: 32232B(5)W(58.0)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Annabel Neasham )
It comes off five consecutive placings and it shouldn't be long before it breaks through. In good hands, so take the short odds.
Main Danger
7 Backlit Beauty
F: 26X46B(7)W(57.5)
( J-Teo Nugent )
( T-Kennewell & Yeomans )
Better for two runs back from a spell and it doesn't need to improve much to win this race. Drawing wide might help it.
Next Best
1 Anthurium
Dividend : $6.70, $3.20
Won
F: 46B(4)W(59.5)
( J-Jackie Beriman )
( T-Michael Kent )
Sixth at The Valley last time out but it should find this field much easier. Punters should expect a better effort.
Consider
5 Artspace
Dividend : $2.60
Place
F: 0X53B(3)W(58.0)
( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-Busuttin/Young )
Getting better with every run, including a third at Cranbourne last start. That should be a good form guide.
Longer Odds
4 Tahitian Warrior
F: 525X9B(6)W(59.5)
( J-Brian Higgins )
( T-Matthew Brown )
Better than what it showed last time out, and it's worth backing again.

3 Not A Problem
F: 60173B(1)W(61.0)
( J-Jarrod Fry )

Liked its win three back and it wasn't far away last time out. Drawn well and punters get value odds.
Main Danger
1 Inordinate
F: 16822B(7)W(61.0)
( J-Jack Hill )
( T-Gavin Bedggood )
Getting close to scoring another win after consecutive second placings. Loves running at Yarra Valley with three starts for a win and two placings.
Next Best
7 Khan's Treasure
F: 41447B(4)W(59.5)
( J-Luke Cartwright )
( T-Stephen Brown )
A winner at Mornington earlier this prep and a repeat of that would be good enough. Solid enough since and it gets 3kg off.
Consider
10 Bolshoi Princess
Dividend : $2.30
Place
F: 7P921B(3)W(59.0)
( J-Jason Maskiell )
( T-Liam Howley )
