It would have won the Everest had it not been for a late dip. Loves running down the straight and we thought it would be at shorter odds.

4 Baraqiel
F: 13311B(1)W(58.5)
( J-Ben Allen )
( T-L & T Corstens & W Larkin )
A booming winner at The Valley and it's a six-time winner from eight starts. This is the biggest test of its career, but it's heading places.

( J-Craig Williams )

The Everest winner is in the form of its life, but it doesn't win down the straight at Flemington. That's the major concern, but we're not leaving it out.

6 Sunshine In Paris
Dividend : $4.80, $1.90
Won
F: 4x152B(9)W(56.5)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald )
A nice type that deserves to have more wins on its record. Another big win is coming and it's good enough to handle this field.
Longer Odds
12 Bellatrix Star
F: 51112B(10)W(51.5)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Mark Walker )
Got clear late on Saturday and burst through to take second behind Switzerland. Good form and the 51.5kg helps the Kiwi.

Looked gone in the Cox Plate but it battled gamely for third. That was a tough effort and it's good enough to win here. Should appreciate the longer straight.
Main Danger
9 Pride Of Jenni
F: 52128B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Ben Melham )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
It wants to lead and lead easily. That's the winning of the race for Jenni, and it's paying attractive odds if everything pans out as planned.

4 Antino
Dividend : $2.90
Place
F: x4331B(10)W(59.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Tony Gollan )
Back to its best form with a daring ride last time out. A confidence runner and that will do it the world of good.

F: 21224B(3)W(59.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
As tough as they come and it can't be left out. Keeps hitting the line with purpose and this race is right up its alley. Another each-way odds inclusion.
Longer Odds
12 Stefi Magnetica
F: 1x295B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Chad Schofield )
( T-Bjorn Baker )
Much harder here but it had no luck last start and it just needs something to go its way this preparation.
Paying short odds to win and it could show why. Couldn't have been more impressive in the Cox Plate, and by all accounts it has come through the run amazingly.
Main Danger
1 Without A Fight
Dividend : $2.90
Place
F: x611xB(9)W(59.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-A & S Freedman )
We're happy to include last year's Cup winner as the second-best pick. It missed time due to injury, but it has been working well and there is betting interest.
Next Best
2 Duke De Sessa
F: 52441B(4)W(59.0)
( J-Harry Coffey )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Impressive in winning the Caulfield Cup and it could lead and kick again. Just needs to turn around its Flemington form, but it's high on confidence.
Consider
6 Eliyass
F: x1137B(2)W(59.0)
( J-Nash Rawiller )
( T-G Waterhouse & A Bott )
Kicked off this prep with three consecutive wins and it could get back to that form. A tough former European that has more wins in store.
Longer Odds
7 Docklands
F: 2x7x5B(6)W(59.0)
( J-Declan Bates )
( T-Harry Eustace )
Its Cox Plate run wasn't bad considering and it could be over the odds here. It will only be better for the run.

F: 144x1B(1)W(58.0)

Heavily backed this week following an impressive win. It's unbeaten from two second-up starts and it could keep that run going.
Main Danger
7 Shesallshenanigans
F: 4238xB(11)W(59.0)
( J-Ben Melham )
( T-Simon Zahra )
Fresh up and over the odds. Has run well fresh up and at Flemington in the past, and it could cause an upset from out wide.

14 Mantua
F: 12122B(10)W(56.5)
( J-Dylan Browne McMonagle )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Always around the mark, and although this is a tough field, it puts itself in a winning position more often than not. Can't be overlooked at the odds.
Consider
5 Keenan
F: x4x4xB(14)W(59.5)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-G Waterhouse & A Bott )
Only a one-time winner but it has more to come. Could use the outside rail and come with a big late burst.

1 Port Albert
F: x7841B(13)W(62.0)
( J-Rhys McLeod )
( T-Nick Ryan )
It got back to winning form last start and it has always been a confidence runner. It should not be left out at odds.
