Main Danger
8 Hiyaam Proud
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 50x24B(4)W(58.0)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Matt Laurie )
Better for two runs back from a spell and it has been heavily backed to win. It has contested tough races, so this is easier.
Next Best
3 Goldenstatewarrior
F: 6417xB(13)W(60.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
It has shown glimpses of good form throughout its career. Can be a tough runner to back but it has enough ability to include at the odds.

Dividend : $6.30, $2.10
Won
F: 31x21B(5)W(56.0)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Cindy Alderson )
Scored nicely at Sale and it could graduate to city racing. First start at Caulfield and the Kiwi-bred runner has upside.
Longer Odds
2 Haaracaine
F: 1x189B(10)W(61.0)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Nick Ryan )
Stable had a big opinion of this runner earlier this prep. Only fair since winning but it could bounce back at odds.

Dividend : $10.50, $3.10
Won
F: 3234xB(6)W(61.0)
( J-Jaylah Kennedy )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
Better than the odds suggest and punters could climb on. Goes well fresh up and its jumpout form has been solid enough.
Main Danger
16 Tiffany Valentine
F: 841x2B(5)W(56.0)
( J-Tom Prebble )
( T-Phillip Stokes )
A solid run for second fresh up at Geelong and it doesn't need to improve too much on that. 3kg comes off its back to help with the weight.
Next Best
14 Helix
F: 2230xB(9)W(58.0)
( J-Ben Melham )
( T-Clinton McDonald )
Never too far away from the prize and it's a past winner fresh up. Its third at Flemington two back is a good enough form guide.
Consider
6 Pantelone
F: x318xB(7)W(60.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-James Cummings )
Another runner with good fresh up form with three starts for a win and two placings. In good hands and it could sneak under the radar.
Longer Odds
8 Rocket Tiger
F: 7216xB(3)W(59.5)
( J-Billy Egan )
( T-Ben Brisbourne )
Not the most consistent type going around but it won well at Bendigo two back. Chance with a repeat effort.

Top Pick
14 The Shaper
F: 7x019B(7)W(55.0)
( J-Billy Egan )
( T-A & S Freedman )
Prepared to overlook its most recent run and we're going with its win two back. Meets an even field and it gets all favours with the light weight.
Main Danger
11 Sassy Boom
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 2x557B(1)W(55.5)
( J-Jamie Kah )
( T-Danny O'Brien )
Always around the mark and we're not surprised by the money coming for it. Inside draw and it could get back to winning form.
Next Best
13 Regal Vow
Dividend : $5.10, $2.00
Won
F: 662x3B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Beau Mertens )
( T-Charlotte Littlefield )
Four wins and six placings from 13 starts, so the consistency is there. Ran second at its only Caulfield start, which is good to see.
Consider
2 Bigolino
F: x271xB(3)W(59.0)
( J-Tom Prebble )
( T-Patrick & Michelle Payne )
It ended last prep with a win at Sandown. Unbeaten in the wet but it's still good enough on dry surfaces to get the job done.
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
4 Belle Savoir
F: 2330xB(2)W(57.5)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Nick Ryan )
A two-time winner fresh up and it's a big danger here. Punters should expect the odds to firm.

Won
F: 224x2B(2)W(57.0)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-James Cummings )
Taking its time to show its full ability, but this race could be what it has been waiting for. A strong type with the addition of McDonald riding.
Main Danger
1 Coleman
F: x6627B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Ethan Brown )
( T-Matt Laurie )
Connections keep searching for a race more suitable and they have found it here. Costly for punters but it deserves another chance.

4 Catoggio
Dividend :
Place
F: 5x141B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-G Waterhouse & A Bott )
Already a two-time winner this preparation and it's good enough to handle the rise in class. Bred to be better than average.
Consider
7 I Am Velvet
F: 11x40B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Phillip Stokes )
Looked like a real up-and-comer when winning its first two starts this prep. Hasn't quite kicked on since but it's another runner deserving another chance.
Longer Odds
2 Rue De Royale
Dividend : $3.40
Place
F: x5139B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-T & C McEvoy )

The 'Day's Best'
7 Pharari
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 81310B(3)W(54.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Typically lives up to its name and it wasn't all that far down the straight. Better around a turn and carrying 54kg makes it tough to beat.
Main Danger
6 Miraval Rose
Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: x759xB(6)W(54.0)
( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-Grahame Begg )
Fresh up form reads well and it runs its best races at Caulfield with a win and a placing. Another runner getting in with a light weight.
Next Best
5 Kin
Dividend : $3.70, $1.30
Won
F: x1x20B(9)W(54.0)
( J-Jamie Kah )
( T-James Cummings )
Another runner that didn't fire down the straight. Better record at Caulfield with two wins and four placings. Can't be left out.
Consider
8 Holy Racket
F: 17x18B(2)W(54.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-A & J Williams )
A winner at The Valley fresh up before finishing behind the money last time out. Should get all favours in the run with Williams riding.
Longer Odds
2 Lempicka
F: 0x036B(1)W(58.0)
( J-Luke Currie )
( T-K & K Keys )
Best form comes on good surfaces with six wins. Chance to get back to that form.

3 Rich Dottie
F: 19x1B(10)W(56.0)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Grahame Begg )
Two wins from three starts, and we liked the look of it last time out. Not surprised by the money coming, and punters still get value odds.
Main Danger
2 Tobeornottobe
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: x3304B(15)W(58.0)
( J-Ethan Brown )
( T-R Griffiths & M De Kock )
Yet to win this prep but it battled on gamely for fourth at Flemington during the carnival. Another runner specked at each-way odds.
Next Best
7 She's Got Pizzazz
F: 232x1B(7)W(56.0)
( J-Jamie Kah )
( T-Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman )
Graduated out of maidens when winning at Kilmore. Bred to be better than that and money has come for it throughout the week.
Consider
14 Legacy Bay
F: 0x1B(3)W(56.0)
( J-Carleen Hefel )
( T-Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman )
A well-related type (sister to Joliestar). Broke maidens at Sale and it could kick on with it. Chance despite drifting odds.
Longer Odds
17 Jasmin Rouge
Dividend : $36.00, $8.80
Won
F: 3B(1)W(56.0)
( J-Ben Melham )
( T-Clinton McDonald )
Third on debut at Bendigo. Should only be stronger for the effort and it could score a blowout win.
