Its third on debut was solid enough and it should be stronger with a spell under its belt. Drawing the inside adds to its appeal.
Main Danger
6 Atella Miss
F: 3xB(5)W(56.0)
( J-Liam Riordan )
( T-Greg Eurell )
Another runner that came third on debut before spelling. They often find form quickly from this stable, so keep it safe.
Next Best
2 I Am Titan
F:B(8)W(58.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
It comes from a stable that has good success early. A solid Cranbourne jumpout placing and punters get better odds than expected.
Consider
1 Bakersbend
Dividend : $2.90
Place
F: 3B(8)W(58.0)
( J-Dean Yendall )
( T-Paul Preusker )
Solid enough on debut at Ararat when third, which followed a trial win. A big chance with slight improvement.
Longer Odds
7 Elizabass
F: 6x457B(4)W(56.0)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Gavin Bedggood )
Better than its form suggests and there isn't much depth to this field, so it could take advantage.

Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 1B(2)W(59.0)
( J-Ben Allen )
( T-Phillip Stokes )
From a good family and it won well enough on debut to suggest that it can kick on with it. Better odds than we expected.
Main Danger
3 Medieval Warrior
F:B(1)W(58.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
On debut and it has been best-backed to win. A solid jumpout performance and there is clearly good stable money coming for it.
Next Best
2 Let It Beel
F: 2B(7)W(58.0)
( J-Zac Spain )
( T-Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman )
Second behind Scenic Point on debut, who has since won impressively in town last Saturday. That form is good enough to win this race.
Consider
5 Warrior Smile
Dividend : $6.90, $3.10
Won
F: 4B(3)W(58.0)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
Fourth on debut at The Valley, when the track was playing poorly. Could pay to forgive that effort and this field is much easier.
Longer Odds
7 Queen Of The Surf
F: 3B(4)W(55.5)
( J-Declan Bates )
( T-Simon Zahra )
A tidy debut at big odds and it could boost payouts once again.

Best "Each Way"
2 Baby Hazel
F: x1681B(5)W(60.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Danny O'Brien )
Loved the way it settled last start before putting them away with ease. Thought it would be at shorter odds, so take the value available.
Main Danger
3 Altermatum
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 3x212B(6)W(59.5)
( J-Harry Coffey )
( T-Tony & Calvin McEvoy )
Eight starts for a win and four placings, so it's a consistent type. A tricky draw but it has been well-backed, and it should be tough to beat.
Next Best
1 Actuality
F: 27854B(4)W(60.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman )
Struggling to show its best form this campaign but it hasn't been missed in betting markets. Shinn rides, which adds to its appeal.
Consider
6 Lady Sadler
Dividend :
Place
F: x416xB(1)W(59.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Andrew Noblet )
Yet to win fresh up but it comes off a trial win at Caulfield. No reason why it can't handle this field at each-way odds.
Longer Odds
5 Belcony
F: 642x1B(3)W(59.0)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Reece Goodwin )
A strong fresh up winner at Pakenham and the double-figure odds can't be overlooked.

6 Happy Link
F: x211xB(8)W(58.5)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Greg Eurell )
Ended last prep with two wins, including a win over Treasurethe Moment, and it could hit the ground running here. Drifting odds but it's the testing material
Main Danger
4 I Am Velvet
Dividend : $2.10, $1.00
Won
F: x404xB(6)W(59.5)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Phillip Stokes )
A nice type resuming and it owns two fresh up wins. It ran behind some smart types in the spring, so that form checks out at midweek level.
Next Best
5 Changing Colours
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: x221xB(2)W(59.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Chris Waller )
Another nice type in the making in one of the better midweek fields we've seen in some time. Yet to run poorly, so it can't be left out.
Consider
7 Madam Instrife
F: x21x8B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Ethan Brown )
( T-Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman )
Better than what it showed fresh up at Sandown, having won at Canterbury last prep. A chance based on that win.
Longer Odds
3 Patchouli Dream
F: 147x5B(7)W(60.5)
( J-Milos Bunjevac )
( T-Matthew Hahne )
Not an easy field to beat but it could lob into a minor position. A past winner at Sandown, so consider.

7 Flying Mean
Dividend :
Place
F: 20x31B(5)W(58.0)
( J-Ben Melham )
( T-Clinton McDonald )
It scored an overdue win last time out and it has every chance to kick on with it. Drawn well and punters get each-way odds.
Main Danger
1 Attain
F: 65121B(1)W(62.5)
( J-Logan Bates )
( T-Robbie Laing )
Nothing wrong with its recent form, including two wins from its last three. Lumped with a big weight but it gets 3kg off to help.
Next Best
2 Primal Spirit
Dividend : $3.10, $1.70
Won
F: 32113B(2)W(62.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Reece Goodwin )
Consistent with two wins and three placings this campaign. Another steady type, and it's good enough to handle this field.
Consider

Dividend : $2.70
Place
F: 3025xB(4)W(58.5)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-M, W & J Hawkes )
Yet to win fresh up but it enjoys this distance and it could fire up. Should find this easier than its last start at Rosehill.
Longer Odds
5 Lucky Duck
F: 33141B(3)W(59.0)
( J-Craig Newitt )
( T-John Salanitri )
Already a three-time winner this prep and it could sneak under the radar at double-figure odds.

10 Pula
F: 2142B(8)W(57.5)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Danny O'Brien )
Better odds than expected for a runner that hasn't done much wrong. Much better value than the current favourite.
Main Danger
13 Heavenly Shades
Dividend : $1.00
Place
F: 4x14B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman )
A winner fresh up before finishing fourth at Sandown behind Bossy Benita. A solid form guide and the betting suggests that it'll bounce back.
Next Best
4 King Of Enterprise
F: 155x2B(1)W(59.5)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young )
A lot to like about its fresh up placing and it could enjoy a nice preparation. A past second-up winner and the inside draw helps.
Consider
8 Kiwiesque
F: 1xB(5)W(57.5)
( J-Ethan Brown )
( T-Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr )
A debut winner at Kilmore before spelling. Should come back stronger and it's good enough to handle the rise in class.

7 Candle In The Dark
F: 12x2B(6)W(58.0)
( J-Jordan Childs )

F: 204x2B(3)W(62.5)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-John Leek Jr )
Dropping in distance might not be ideal but it's a good stayer. Second fresh up and it could score an overdue win.
Main Danger
9 Pacific Cross
F: 22223B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Glen Thompson )
The best-backed runner in the field after posting yet another placing. Keeps finding one or two better, but it has a winning hope.
Next Best
7 Saveadateforme
F: 32564B(9)W(57.5)
( J-Beau Mertens )
( T-Charlotte Littlefield )
Better than what it has been showing, but it could start to find its best form now. A touch unlucky last start, so allow another chance.

Won
F: 4x512B(8)W(61.0)

A good winner at Goulburn two back and coming to Victoria could see its winning form return. 2kg comes off its back to help.
Longer Odds
5 Dandruff
F: 5x331B(10)W(60.0)
( J-Dakotah Keane )
( T-Toby Lake )
A winner at Ararat last start and it could keep its winning run going at odds.

The former Kiwi loves winning after making it three wins from five starts. Yet to finish worse than second, so put on top at the short odds.
Main Danger
14 Lavalier
Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 54x56B(3)W(54.5)
( J-Jamie Melham )
( T-James Cummings )
Better than its form suggests and it could find form quickly at this level. Getting down in the weights adds to its appeal.
Next Best
1 Sun God
F: 551x7B(2)W(62.5)
( J-Tom Prebble )
( T-Chris Waller )
Better for the fresh up effort, its first run in Australia. It will only improve with more distance, so this looks right up its alley.
Consider
8 Montepulciano
F: 35202B(4)W(58.5)
( J-Zac Spain )
( T-Richard & Chantelle Jolly )
An experienced type that enjoys racing on good tracks and it can never be discounted. Could sneak under the radar.
Longer Odds
7 Amphactor
F: 76x41B(9)W(58.5)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Mark & Levi Kavanagh )
It got back to winning form last start and it's good enough to kick on with it.
