Main Danger
4 Rock The Bar
F: 07134B(8)W(62.0)
( J-Billy Egan )
( T-Danny O'Brien )
A good winner earlier this prep before running two solid efforts. Needs a touch of luck from the draw, but its class takes it close.

Dividend : $2.40
Place
F: 4550xB(9)W(62.5)
( J-Harry Coffey )
( T-Tim Fitzsimmons )
Fresh up in Australia after showing good form in Singapore. It's always tough to line up, but as the betting suggests, it can't be overlooked.
Consider
8 Miss Winslet
F: x7352B(4)W(58.5)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-L & T Corstens & W Larkin )
Adds depth to the field, and it comes off a good placing. Another strong winning chance, so it can't be left out.

Top Pick
3 Blue Stratum
F: 4740xB(1)W(62.5)
( J-Stephanie Hateley )
( T-Tony & Calvin McEvoy )
A quality type that faced some good fields last prep. This is much easier and getting 2kg off and the inside draw adds to its appeal.
Main Danger
5 Mr Magnus
F: 61234B(8)W(60.0)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Robbie Griffiths )
Liked its win earlier this prep before running solid races in defeat. Tricky draw but it could head forward and show a good kick in the straight.
Next Best
8 Thinking Of Gerty
Dividend : $4.60, $1.60
Won
F: 9833xB(7)W(58.0)
( J-Rose Hammond )
( T-Gwenda Johnstone )
It comes off a jumpout win and it was good enough to run at The Valley and Caulfield last prep. Should find this more to its liking.
Consider
4 Loving Mandy
F: x2134B(3)W(60.5)
( J-Holly Durnan )
( T-Dwayne Reid )
Already a two-time winner this campaign and getting 1.5kg off its back adds to its appeal. Drifting odds, but we're not concerned.
Longer Odds
1 Real Gun
F: 14538B(4)W(63.5)
( J-Lachlan King )
( T-Scott McIntosh )
A three-time winner at Echuca, so the course specialist can't be overlooked at the odds.

Won
F: 61125B(3)W(58.0)
( J-Ethan Brown )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
Scored consecutive wins earlier this prep and it can get back to that form. Drawn well and expect money to come for it.
Main Danger
1 Armino
F: 39613B(6)W(61.5)
( J-Billy Egan )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
A winner at The Valley two back, and that's a good form guide. Third at Ballarat last time out, so a bounce back effort is likely.
Next Best
9 Olney
F: 431x6B(2)W(57.5)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Greg Eurell )
Didn't let down at Sandown but that followed a handy win at Yarra Valley. Having Craig Williams in the saddle adds to our confidence.
Consider
10 First Appearance
F: 2x741B(8)W(56.5)
( J-Declan Bates )
( T-Glen Thompson )
It broke maidens at Pakenham and it could rise through the grades. Bred to win a few races, so consider at the odds.
Longer Odds
3 Sky Out
F: 70x67B(10)W(61.0)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Reece Goodwin )
A two-time winner over the distance and it could get back to its best. Chance at big odds.

1 Roadcone
F: 632x2B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman )
Not exactly the luckiest runner going around but it's overdue a win. Big weight but it owns a nice turn-of-foot, so it should go close.
Main Danger
4 Ten Deep
F: 1x2x3B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman )
Good enough to win consecutive races not long ago and it has since placed twice. Having Williams riding helps, and it has been well-backed.

Dividend : $2.00
Place
F: 5x733B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Ethan Brown )

Consider
5 Lario
Dividend :
Place
F: 5713xB(2)W(56.5)
( J-Billy Egan )

Main Danger
3 Nodachi
F: x0271B(7)W(59.0)
( J-Billy Egan )
( T-Dominic Sutton )
A good winner last time out at Cranbourne and it's capable of winning again. Shortening odds and it's the biggest threat.

7 Epice Dieu
F: 77x52B(5)W(56.5)
( J-Harry Coffey )

F: 11142B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Tom Prebble )

Won
F: 10x87B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Williams )

Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 00x10B(3)W(57.0)
( J-John Allen )
( T-Emma-Lee & David Browne )

Consider
7 Preferential
F: x6712B(12)W(56.0)
( J-Ethan Brown )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
It owns four wins and five placings from 20 starts, so it's never too far away from the prize. It has time to find cover from the wide draw.

Dividend : $2.50
Place
F: 53137B(8)W(56.0)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )

A very good sprinter over the short-course distance and it won well two back. 54kg on its back and it should go forward and be tough to beat.

The class runner of the field and it's an eight-time winner from 21 starts. Loves a good track and its class should take it close.
