Main Danger
4 Makena
F: 0x416B(9)W(59.5)
( J-Joao Moreira )
( T-Chris Waller )
A good winner two back before battling away last time out. Solid enough form to recommend at this level.
Next Best
5 Bon Mistress
Dividend : $4.40, $1.90
Won
F: 977x1B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Zac Spain )
( T-K & K Keys )
A lovely return to racing when winning and with the confidence levels up, it could kick on with it. Value odds from bookies.
Consider
3 Grey Ice
F: 10x74B(7)W(59.5)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-S B Laming )
Better for two runs back from a spell and it's heading in the right direction. It has ability and it could sneak under the radar at each-way odds.
Longer Odds
1 Carina Queen
F: 36x06B(4)W(60.5)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Mitchell Freedman )
Better for two starts this prep and it's good enough to go close at odds.

Top Pick
1 Kallos
F: 96x24B(5)W(59.0)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-James Cummings )
It has looked strong in its return and it has been heavily backed to win. A three-time winner at Flemington and it's another premium ride for JMac.
Main Danger
2 Oscar's Fortune
F: 35x28B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Gavin Bedggood )
It didn't seem to handle The Valley last start when puncturing late. We're prepared to give it another go, as it's talented.
Next Best
3 Recommendation
Dividend : $2.20
Place
F: 11185B(4)W(58.5)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
An on-speed type that does like to use the bend. However, it has good pace throughout the run and it could lead them throughout down the straight.
Consider
4 Spacewalk
Dividend : $2.30
Place
F: 39x30B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Ben Melham )
( T-James Cummings )
Didn't finish it off well enough last start but it was keen and too fired up. If it settles here, it could figure in the finish.
Longer Odds
8 Garza Blanca
F: 8x20xB(3)W(57.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Fresh up form is solid and it's a speedy type on its day. Specked at double-figure odds.

Top Pick
Best "Each Way"
12 Nearing Liberty
F: 6x112B(8)W(56.0)
( J-Ben Melham )
( T-Matthew Brown )
Kicked off this prep with consecutive wins before placing. Nothing wrong with that form and punters get generous odds.
Main Danger
13 Alma Rise
Dividend : $4.00, $2.00
Won
F: 12x21B(5)W(55.5)
( J-Luke Nolen )
( T-Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman )
Five starts for two wins and three second placings. Tough to look past that form and it gets all favours in the run from barrier five.
Next Best
3 Le Zebra
Dividend : $3.00
Place
F: 14533B(7)W(60.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Emma-Lee & David Browne )
Never too far away from them and it's a two-time winner at Flemington. Drawn wide but it settles back before making a move late.
Consider
4 Motorace
F: 24211B(2)W(59.5)
( J-Todd Pannell )
( T-Michael Hickmott )
Confidence levels are building after posting wins at Morphettville and Murray Bridge. We have seen that form stack up nicely.
Longer Odds
2 Dublin Journal
F: 07141B(4)W(60.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
Two wins from its last three starts, and it could be a forgotten runner at odds.

Top Pick
4 Poifect
F: 10x10B(3)W(57.5)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
Didn't fire last start but its form prior was good enough to recommend here. Drawn well and we're not worried by the drifting odds.
Main Danger
1 Roots
F: 7x280B(9)W(59.5)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Chris Waller )
A very tough runner to follow but the talent is there. Gets back and relies on luck, but with McDonald riding, that should give punters more confidence.
Next Best
5 Running By
Dividend : $4.10, $1.70
Won
F: 27x19B(6)W(57.0)
( J-John Allen )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Too tough for it last start and this race should be more to its liking. Yet to win at Flemington but that day should come.
Consider
7 Mollynickers
F: 6x704B(4)W(56.0)
( J-Luke Nolen )
( T-Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman )
Big money has come for the out-of-form mare, who hasn't won in a long time. However, betting confidence is a good sign from this stable.
Longer Odds
3 Second To Nun
F: 19545B(7)W(57.5)
( J-Ben Melham )
( T-W Clarken & N O'Shea )
Seeking its 10th career win and it could do it in style. Chance at double-figure odds.

Time: 5:10 PM | Distance: 1800 m | Prize $ 165000
Top Pick
13 Saban
F: 24x14B(10)W(54.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman )
A lovely winner fresh up and Caulfield didn't suit. Gets back to Flemington and getting down in the weights is a bonus.
Main Danger
8 Verdad
Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: x2222B(7)W(56.0)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-R Griffiths & M De Kock )
It certainly knows how to run second after posting four on the bounce. A tough customer and it shouldn't take long to get back to winning form.
Next Best
9 Maracourt
F: 31151B(12)W(55.0)
( J-Craig Newitt )
( T-Michael Hickmott )
Three wins from its last four starts, so that's tough to overlook. Harder here but it could have matured nicely this season.
Consider
7 Kettle Hill
Dividend : $19.20, $4.20
Won
F: 02763B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Declan Bates )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
It has been specked in the betting a few times this year and it hasn't been able to put it together. However, this could be the day it's waiting for.
Longer Odds
3 Maktoob
F: 08x03B(4)W(58.5)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Simon Zahra )
Much better when third at Seymour and that run could spark it back into action.

Top Pick
5 Oh Too Good
Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 212x1B(13)W(58.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Kevin Daffy )
It has made a positive start to its career and we're not surprised by the odds. A nice winner fresh up and it could beat this field.
Main Danger
1 Valois
F: 61321B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Ethan Brown )
( T-Cliff Brown )
Over the odds after winning last time out and it could carry the weight to victory. It has competed in tough fields, so this is no worry.
Next Best
12 Torranzino
Dividend : $2.00
Place
F: 65162B(7)W(55.0)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Paul Preusker )
Liked its win at Sandown three back and that's good form for the country final. Never too far away and McDonald takes over the riding duties.
Consider
14 Hiyaam Proud
F: 150x2B(16)W(54.5)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Matt Laurie )
A good second placing at Geelong when resuming and it won its only second-up start. Well-weighted and paying nice odds.
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
8 Kahhof
F: x2312B(10)W(56.5)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-John Moloney )
It doesn't know how to run poorly and despite rising in class, it can't be left out at the price.

(1) Treasurethe Moment

Dominant on Saturday and there's no reason to jump off its back. Could be too brilliant for the Oaks, but it could also win for fun.
Main Danger
5 Powers Of Opal
Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 43412B(9)W(56.0)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-J G Sargent )
Chased the top pick gamely on Sat. More of a dour staying type so it could specialise over 2500m. In good hands, and it's the main threat.
Next Best
3 Harlem Queen
F: x1124B(5)W(56.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Nathan Doyle )
Its Sydney form is good and it hasn't been missed in betting markets. Every chance if it stays the distance, so follow betting moves.
Consider
2 Too Darn Discreet
F: x7111B(3)W(56.0)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Dan O'Sullivan )
Three strong wins this prep and it could power home. Ideally drawn to get a soft run and leaving it out of picks would be a mistake.
Longer Odds
8 Femminile
F: 1x963B(13)W(56.0)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Phillip Stokes )
An interesting runner that could run a big race. Better in the wet but don't give it on it.

( J-Damian Lane )

Dividend : $3.60
Place
F: 111x0B(5)W(55.0)
( J-Billy Egan )

Dividend : $2.40
Place
F: 0x4x4B(2)W(54.0)

Dividend : $5.30, $1.90
Won
F: 0x697B(4)W(58.5)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
We're prepared to say it needed all three runs back from a spell. Proving costly for punters but on a day where McDonald could dominate, he might get this one home.
Longer Odds
1 Uncle Bryn
F: 0x018B(3)W(59.5)
( J-Nash Rawiller )
( T-Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young )
Race not run to suit last start and a bounce back is on the cards at nice odds.
