Main Danger
6 Baffleck
Dividend : $1.10
Place
F: 4323B(3)W(59.0)
( J-Luke Currie )
( T-Nikki Burke )
Another runner knocking on the door after three consecutive placings. Backed to beat the fav, and they could fight it out.
Next Best
3 Shades Of Sheriff
Dividend :
Place
F: 03634B(1)W(59.5)
( J-Stephanie Hateley )
( T-Christopher Davis )
Mixed form this season but it hasn't been far away on occasion. 3kg comes off its back and that could be enough.
Consider
4 The Great Wave
F: 555x7B(2)W(59.5)
( J-Declan Bates )
( T-Steven Pateman )
Yet to win or place from six starts but this would be the race to show improvement. Upsets often happen in small fields.
Longer Odds
2 Obstructionist
F: 3x879B(4)W(59.5)
( J-Teodore Nugent )
( T-Brent Butcher )
Better for recent racing and it only needs to improve a touch to go close.

Best "Each Way"
2 Factcheck
F: 43x22B(4)W(58.0)
( J-Luke Currie )
( T-Robbie Laing )
It comes off three consecutive placings and punters get value each-way odds. It looks ready to win and it's drawn better than the fav.
Main Danger
1 Act Natural
Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 222B(8)W(58.0)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Phillip Stokes )
Three starts for three second placings. Hoping it's not one of those horses that finds one better every time, but it should go close.
Next Best
8 Steel Move
Dividend : $4.00, $1.50
Won
F: 3B(7)W(58.0)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-James Cummings )
Third on debut and they don't take long to improve from the Cummings stable. Tricky draw but it should go close.
Consider
6 Justified Heart
F:B(1)W(58.0)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Clayton Douglas )
Mixed trial form but it comes off a jumpout win and it could hit the ground running off the inside draw. Worth including at the odds.
Longer Odds
3 Fauci
F: 8xB(6)W(58.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young )
Average on debut but it has since been gelded. That often works well and having Shinn riding is a bonus.

Dividend : $2.80, $1.10
Won
F: 2xB(6)W(57.5)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
Punters must take short odds but it ran second on debut before spelling, and it's the one to beat. Williams rides and the money has come.
Main Danger
7 Zwasp
F: 4423xB(2)W(59.5)
( J-Joe Bowditch )
( T-Shea Eden )
It ended last prep with two placings and it could hit the ground running this time in. Drawn well and it has been well-backed also.
Next Best
1 Alvin
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 4x623B(5)W(59.5)
( J-Teodore Nugent )
( T-Shane Fliedner )
Comes off placings at Bendigo and Echuca, and it's nearing a maiden win. Drifting odds but it could add some value.
Consider
9 Runchickenrun
F: 3xB(1)W(57.5)
( J-Daniel Moor )
( T-Paul Koumis )
Third on debut at Hamilton as a $5.50 chance. Better odds this time around and getting the inside draw adds to its appeal.
Longer Odds
6 Nicabuk
Dividend : $2.90
Place
F: 0x245B(8)W(59.5)
( J-Ethan Brown )
( T-Richard Laming )

Dividend : $1.10
Place
F: 3779xB(6)W(59.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young )
It faced some tough fields in the city last prep and held its own. This is much easier and breaking maidens shouldn't be too difficult.
Main Danger
6 Yes I Believe
F: 5B(7)W(59.0)
( J-Luke Currie )
( T-Clayton Douglas )
Money has come for it following a solid debut fifth. It has since trialed well at Caulfield and it could figure in the finish.
Next Best

Won
F: x642xB(3)W(57.0)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Reece Goodwin )
It ended last prep with a second placing at Geelong and it could bring something similar. Best-backed to beat the favourite.
Consider
11 Kaddari
F: 3x422B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Robbie Griffiths )
Nothing wrong with its recent form, including two second placings. Could be the forgotten runner at a nice price.
Longer Odds
8 Missile Girl
F: 4x3x6B(7)W(57.5)
( J-Craig Newitt )
( T-Richard Laming )
It's never too far away from the prize and any betting move for this runner is a good sign from the Laming stable.

Dividend : $1.00
Place
F: 16xB(5)W(59.0)
( J-Ethan Brown )

Liked its win on debut before running sixth in a tough race at Flemington. Easier here and it could get back to winning form.

8 Fluent
Dividend : $4.50, $1.60
Won
F: 140x2B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Declan Bates )
( T-Andrew Noblet )
Second fresh up and that's a step in the right direction. Money has come for it, so that's enough to include it in win bets.
Next Best
1 Last Druid
F: x0x63B(3)W(60.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-James Cummings )
Only a length behind the winner last start and it should have improved with the run under its belt. Big weight but Shinn rides and the odds are generous.
Consider
9 Rose De Vellor
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 12xB(2)W(56.5)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Charlotte Littlefield )
It didn't do much wrong during its first prep, including a win and placing. Not the easiest race to return in, but it has upside.
Longer Odds
7 Self Serve
F: 1B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Tom Prebble )
( T-Danny O'Brien )
Looking to go unbeaten after winning on debut at Warrnambool. Chance to make it two.

Disappointing runs recently but we're prepared to give it another chance. Drawn well and it's good enough to beat this field.
Main Danger

Dividend : $2.00, $1.20
Won
F: x6x11B(7)W(59.0)
( J-Carleen Hefel )
( T-Enver Jusufovic )
They often stay winning when in-form from this stable, which is running hot. Back-to-back wins and it's good enough to win again.
Next Best
9 Lady Potato Head
F: x7122B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Joe Bowditch )
( T-Phillip Stokes )
Nothing wrong with its recent form, including a win three back and two placings. Always hits the line well and it's a dangerous type.

Place
F: 210x5B(8)W(58.5)

The odds aren't big but it should be winning this race. A winner fresh up before running two close placings, hence the short odds.
Main Danger

Dividend : $2.70
Place
F: 2155xB(6)W(58.5)
( J-Daniel Moor )

Place
F: x3211B(1)W(62.0)
( J-Hannah Edgley )

Nothing wrong with winning form after picking up wins at Kyneton and Cranbourne. 2kg comes off, so consider at the price.
Consider
10 Sirius Statement
F: 70x21B(10)W(58.5)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Gavin Bedggood )
It got the job done at Pakenham last start and it's a two-time winner over the distance. Solid form and an upset danger.
Longer Odds
5 Kaluakoi
F: 1713xB(9)W(60.5)
( J-Billy Egan )
( T-Danny O'Brien )
It scored twice last prep at Ballarat and Cranbourne, so it's another runner paying double-figure odds that's worth inclusion.

Place
F: 1x2B(9)W(60.5)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Lloyd Kennewell & Lucy Yeomans )

F: x19x7B(1)W(61.5)
( J-Luke Cartwright )
( T-Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr )
It did well to win fresh up at Morphettville before struggling at Caulfield and Flemington behind much stronger types. Chance at this level.
