Handing the reins to this top apprentice is the key to this one's chances. three seconds to date and inside draw ensures it gets every chance

( J-Yogesh Atchamah )

Consider
1 Darkhan Roar

Top Pick
10 Montauk
Dividend : $2.00
Place
F: 22B(9)W(57.0)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Terri Rae )
This favourite looks to be a strong chance too, having finished within a length of the winner in both starts to date and been well backed. Terri Rae has turned to Leah Hemi in Lisa Allpress's absence and she's riding well
Main Danger
1 Speed Dial
F: 32362B(10)W(57.5)
( J-Ashvin Goindasamy )
( T-Richard Didham )
Leah Hemi rode last time. Consistently thereabouts and five times placed in 11 starts, and you'll surely get a run for your money
Next Best
11 Pretty Fly
F: 5x226B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Rohan Mudhoo )
( T-Robert Dennis )
12 lengths off the winner when stepped up to Guineas class last time but given Pivotal Ten won by about 8 lengths, it wasn't a bad run. This a whole lot easier
Consider
12 Little But Fierce
F: 5x248B(11)W(57.0)
( J-Ulrika Holmquist )

Two lengths behind Pretty Fly in the Southland Guineas in what was only its fifth start. Could be the value

Just behind Speed Dial when resuming, and Tina sticks, so definitely the odds player here
