We don't expect there to be much between the two favourites but this one looks the value. Super consistent, Michael McNab can be the winning factor
Main Danger
1Hammer Time
Dividend :
Place
F: 670x2B(1)W(60.0)
( J-Unknown )
( T-Shaune Ritchie & Colm Murray )
Excellent run for second when resuming and from a stable in form. Rails draw
Next Best
4Brynderwyn
F: 0x127B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Unknown )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
6 1/2 lengths behind Hammer Time last start suggests it won't be winning but on prior form rates a place chance
Consider
7Vino Valentino
F: 44420B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Unknown )
( T-Karen Fursdon )
Has been thereabouts in recent races, finishing close up at times, so has to be given a chance

Place
F: 12893B(5)W(58.0)
( J-Unknown )
( T-Debbie Sweeney )
Just over three lengths behind Hammer Time when they met here last start so 12's looks like odds value

Three wins from five starts on the synthetic and alongside Side Eye when they met here four weeks ago. In form stable but it is Sam Weatherley's presence that adds the confidence

Dividend :
Place

1Eight Lucky Prawns
F: 0221B(8)W(58.0)
( J-Unknown )
( T-Shaune Ritchie & Colm Murray )
Just the four runs but already showing the potential to rise through the ranks. Another from this in form stable, with Sam Weatherley also riding, and likely to enjoy the step up to 1550m
Main Danger
2Spielberg
F: 5x6x1B(9)W(58.0)
( J-Unknown )
( T-Paul Richards )
Had to love this one's win when resuming. Only its second race in 11 months so plenty of improvement comes out of that run

Place
F: 95x51B(11)W(56.0)
( J-Unknown )
( T-Frank Ritchie )
Finished on strongly over 1300m to get up here two weeks ago, when second up. Fitter now and better over the 1550m, while Kelly Myers takes the reins and adds to chances

Dividend : $2.10
Place
F: 7x935B(7)W(55.0)

F: 63B(8)W(55.5)

Caught the eye as a galloper with potential when running well on debut and was subsequently beaten less than a length here, over distance, two weeks ago. Warren Kennedy has ridden previously and sticks
Main Danger
3Super Time
F: 74276B(2)W(59.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Ralph Manning )
Has had plenty of racing on the turf but that has been in the Heavy. Returns to the synthetic here (one run, one win previously) with Michael McNab up and that might improve its fortunes

F: 1xB(10)W(58.0)
( J-Unknown )
( T-Ben & Ryan Foote )
Trainers with good strike rate here and they feel they've got this one in good heart to resume, after being freshened. Late to the track after going to Hong Kong but experiencing set backs, it looked an exciting prospect when bolting in In May on its debut. Has won a trial since
Main Danger
1Knights Realm
F: 21214B(1)W(59.0)

Got the better of Forsetti by two lengths when behind Malmaison here four weeks ago, finishing close up second that day. Now has front running specialist jockey up and that should see it get home
Main Danger
1Toa Haka
F: 3221xB(5)W(58.0)
( J-Unknown )
( T-David Greene )
Showed up as a likely winner towards the end of its last campaign and duly won on the synthetic before being freshened. Hopefully can carry on where it left off but at $2.60 to do so, that's a bit short

F: 9x244B(1)W(55.0)

Stable rated this one's chances here two weeks ago, when stepping up to 2000m for the first time, and it finished to good effect to get up. Joe Doyle replaces Michael McNab this time and will be better for that last run experience. Rails draw for good run

his is the danger. Finished strongly to win over 1550m here two weeks ago, to win as it liked in its first start on the synthetic. Extra 450m should be perfect and Warren Kennedy sticks
