Top Pick
4 Heaven Forbid
Dividend : $2.90, $1.30
Won
F: 28XB(5)W(57.5)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Price/Kent (Jnr) )
A nice second on debut before struggling up in distance at Bendigo. Should be better suited to this company.
Main Danger
2 Papal Wars
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 0X2B(8)W(59.5)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Maher/Eustace )
Showed nothing on debut before spelling. Quickly improved to run second at Kyneton, so stick with it.
Next Best
8 Time To Chat
F: 72B(3)W(56.0)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Maher/Eustace )
Heavily backed throughout the week. Second at Seymour last start and it should appreciate the rise in distance.
Consider
6 Cat Noir
F: 2B(1)W(56.0)
( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-Jamie Edwards )
Getting the inside draw should help this runner, which finished second on debut. That came in heavy conditions, so the track is no issue.
Longer Odds
1 Mikazuki
F: X57X3B(7)W(59.5)
( J-Daniel Moor )
( T-Jason Warren )
A beaten favourite fresh. Chance at the much better odds.

Top Pick
Best "Each Way"
7 Salchow
F: 2B(9)W(58.0)
( J-Luke Currie )
( T-Nick Ryan )
Plenty to like about its debut placing and it shouldn't take long to win. Money has come thick and fast.
Main Danger
4 Amerigo Man
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 2B(4)W(58.0)
( J-Billy Egan )
( T-Moody/Coleman )
Second at Cranbourne on debut and it hasn't been missed in the betting. Drawn well and it should go close.
Next Best
12 Princess Pia
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 23B(1)W(56.0)
( J-Declan Bates )
( T-Maher/Eustace )
Better for two runs under its belt, including a third placing at Moonee Valley. Having city experience is a bonus.
Consider
9 Fakhra
F: 224XB(5)W(57.5)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Chris Waller )
A European import which showed good form with two placings from three starts. In good hands with Waller, and we're not worried by the drifting odds.
Longer Odds
8 Silver Hammer
F: X2072B(9)W(58.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Cliff Brown )
Better last start and something close to that would be good enough.

Race 3 - SANDOWN HILLSIDE HANDICAP
Time: 6:50 PM | Distance: 1000 m | Prize $ 59800
Top Pick
1 Berry Bubbly
F: 1X514B(6)W(61.5)
( J-Carleen Hefel )
( T-Griffiths/de Kock )
Loves to win and punters should love the each-way odds. The weight relief helps and the each-way odds are generous.
Main Danger
8 Greyt Mumma
Dividend : $1.80, $1.10
Won
F: DD8X3B(7)W(57.5)
( J-Jamie Kah )
( T-A & S Freedman )
A speedy type that got tired late at The Valley. Better for the fitness and it could lead throughout.
Next Best
6 Cute As
Dividend : $2.20
Place
F: 69930B(9)W(58.5)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Shane Fliedner )
Better than its recent inconsistent form. Loves running at the distance, so getting back to 1000m should help.
Consider
3 Arctic Fairy
F: 310X8B(5)W(60.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Mathew Ellerton )
It needed the fresh up run and it owns a win and a placing second-up. Should find this much easier than recent racing at Flemington.
Longer Odds
4 Who Shot Suzy
F: 7X493B(4)W(59.5)
( J-Blaike McDougall )
( T-Simon Zahra )
Got back to solid form when third at Flemington behind a Kiwi. Worth sticking with.

Top Pick
7 Silver Waves
F: 21X23B(6)W(59.5)
( J-John Allen )
( T-Maher/Eustace )
It looks ready to win after consecutive placings. Tricky draw, but that's about the only negative with this runner.
Main Danger
3 Big Watch
Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 1583XB(7)W(61.0)
( J-Carleen Hefel )
( T-Michael Moroney )
Showed a good turn-of-foot last prep, including a last-start placing at Caulfield behind Va Via. That's Saturday form.
Next Best
10 Tanto
Dividend :
Place
F: 54466B(1)W(58.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Mathew Ellerton )
Struggling to cross the line first. Just a two-time winner, but getting an inside draw adds weight to its chances.
Consider
9 Preconi
F: 1039XB(2)W(58.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Maher/Eustace )
It won fresh up last prep and it's unbeaten in two fresh starts. That's a good sign, and it could hit the ground running.
Longer Odds
11 Birdies Galore
F: 4940XB(10)W(57.5)
( J-Tayla Childs )
( T-Patrick Payne )
Hasn't been sinking many birdies lately, but it's too talented to leave out.

Top Pick
1 Midnight Glow
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 523X2B(1)W(61.5)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Vincent Malady )
Nearing a win after four placings from its last five starts. Drawn well and punters get value odds.
Main Danger
3 Tapa Capall
F: 36X72B(2)W(59.5)
( J-Celine Gaudray )
( T-David Brideoake & Matt Jenkins )
Better when second at Sandown last start and it's heading in the right direction. 1.5kg comes off and the money is on.
Next Best
10 The Devil In Her
Dividend : $5.30, $1.50
Won
F: 1416XB(3)W(58.5)
( J-Billy Egan )
( T-Patrick Payne )
Scored two wins from four starts last prep. Unbeaten at its only Sandown start, and it enjoys a soft track.
Consider
7 Versilia
F: 62245B(1)W(59.0)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Danny O'Brien )
Not far away at Caulfield and that should be a tidy form guide. Should appreciate getting the inside draw.
Longer Odds
4 Galactic Fury
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 69484B(6)W(59.0)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Maher/Eustace )
