Main Danger
17 Bojangles
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: x4527B(8)W(61.5)
( J-Braith Nock )
( T-Kim Waugh )
A late entry and it has been close enough this preparation without winning. Well-backed to win, and the 2kg claim helps its chances.
Next Best
10 Oakfield Saturn
F: 23x21B(8)W(54.5)
( J-Jason Collett )
( T-Damien Lane )
Nothing wrong with its form, including a last-start win. Heading in the right direction, and it's more than capable of beating this field.
Consider
4 Mogwai
F: 97254B(12)W(58.0)
( J-Tommy Berry )
( T-Robert & Luke Price )
Three starts at Kembla Grange for two wins and a placing. It loves the track, and that stat is going under the radar. The odds are worth taking.
Longer Odds
11 Ivana
F: 4x314B(2)W(53.0)
( J-Rachel King )
( T-Edward O'Rourke )
A recent winner that looks good enough to win again. Shouldn't be far away in an even field.

Place
F: 41868B(2)W(54.5)
( J-Tommy Berry )
( T-Matthew Dale )
Recent form hasn't been its best, but it could bounce back in fine fashion. Should appreciate running against this company.
Main Danger
11 Bon Holler
Dividend : $3.80, $1.90
Won
F: 12x24B(3)W(54.0)
( J-Rachel King )
( T-Donna Scott )
Its two starts this prep have been good, including a fresh up second placing. Nothing wrong with that form, and it should go close, as the betting suggests.
Next Best
1 Associate
F: 62x28B(12)W(60.0)
( J-Braith Nock )
( T-Danielle Seib )
Another runner that is better for two runs under its belt. 2kg comes off its back to help with the weight, so include in picks.
Consider
3 Alottosay
F: x1314B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Louise Day )
( T-Brian Adams )
Already a two-time winner this preparation and it could add another. Not an easy Highway field to beat, but it could add value.
Longer Odds
6 Tommy Flyer
Dividend : $3.70
Place
F: 20x11B(10)W(56.0)
( J-Coriah Keatings )
( T-Nick Olive )
Flying at present with back-to-back wins. More depth to this field, but dropping to 53kg is a bonus.

Top Pick
6 Cassiel
F: x112xB(3)W(56.5)
( J-Kerrin McEvoy )
( T-Peter Snowden )
A good fresh up performer, as it showed last preparation. Well-backed throughout the week, and it should be tough to catch.
Main Danger
1 Spywire
Dividend : $11.40, $3.20
Won
F: x231xB(7)W(61.0)
( J-Adam Farragher )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
It has form around some the best age-group runners. A good winner to end last preparation, and it's not being respected in the market.
Next Best
7 Zaragoza
F: 231x3B(9)W(56.0)
( J-Dylan Gibbons )
( T-Robert & Luke Price )
Never too far away from the mark, including four wins and seven placings. Quick enough to run well in this race at each-way odds.
Consider
9 Couples Retreat
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 8x113B(8)W(54.0)
( J-Zac Lloyd )
( T-Annabel & Rob Archibald )
Nothing wrong with its third placing last start, which followed back-to-back wins. 54kg on its back is ideal, and that should take it close.
Longer Odds
3 Bundeena
F: 135x4B(4)W(59.5)
( J-Andrew Adkins )
( T-John P Thompson )
Another consistent performer that can't be overlooked. A good resuming run, so expect improvement.

Won
F: 324x1B(9)W(61.0)
( J-Nash Rawiller )
( T-Joseph Pride )
It could be a nice type in the making after proving too good for them last start. A harder draw to work with here, but class takes it close.
Main Danger
2 Jellicious
Dividend : $2.60
Place
F: x1116B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Tommy Berry )
( T-Chris Waller )
Loved the way it kicked off its prep with three consecutive wins. Not everything went its way last time out, so that was a forgive effort.
Next Best
7 Spirit Of Wealth
F: 8x612B(7)W(56.0)
( J-Josh Parr )
( T-Michael Freedman )
Beaten on its merits last start but it was still a good performance. Still a touch immature, but when it puts everything together, it could be handy.
Consider
8 Amreekiyah
F: x148xB(2)W(55.5)
( J-Tom Sherry )
( T-Peter Snowden )
A fresh up winner last prep, and it could hit the ground running again. Drawn to get all favours, so it's worth including in picks.
Longer Odds
5 Madrina
F: x4212B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Alysha Collett )
( T-Nick Olive )
Nothing wrong with its recent form, including a win. Likes to settle handy and give a good kick.

1 Hurstville Zagreb
F: 2x314B(1)W(58.5)
( J-Zac Lloyd )
( T-John O'Shea & Tom Charlton )
Backed to win last start but had to settle for fourth. The track should be more to its liking here, and getting the inside draw is a bonus.

8 Brave Call
Dividend : $6.60, $2.30
Won
F: 1x445B(11)W(55.5)
( J-Tommy Berry )
( T-Kris Lees )
Loomed to win last start before finishing fifth. Not everything went its way, and it should go close here with any amount of luck from the draw.
Next Best
2 Oceanfront
F: 43111B(4)W(58.0)
( J-Dylan Gibbons )
( T-Nacim Dilmi )
It keeps winning after posting three on the bounce. Good enough to beat this field and continue the winning streak, so it goes in the mix.
Consider
12 Natoya
F: x2312B(2)W(54.5)
( J-Jason Collett )
( T-John Sargent )
It doesn't know how to run a bad race, and getting down in the weights makes it tough to beat. Money has come for it throughout the week.

6 Harlow Mist
F: 0x724B(3)W(56.0)
( J-Molly Bourke )
( T-John Sargent )
Better for three runs back from a spell, including a good second placing two back. Nice longshot chance.

Place
F: 300x1B(6)W(61.0)
( J-Braith Nock )
( T-Annabel & Rob Archibald )
Sprinted past them to score fresh up, and the penny might have dropped now. Worth putting on top again until it proves otherwise.
Main Danger
7 Shady Thinker
F: 14x15B(4)W(57.5)
( J-Nash Rawiller )
( T-Aaron Bain & Ned Taylor )
Had betting support last start when running fifth. Looked in need of another run, despite winning fresh up. Should be right around the mark,
Next Best
14 Sociable
F: 3x231B(2)W(53.0)
( J-Zac Lloyd )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Capped off consistent form with a win, and it's capable of handling the rise in class. Gets all favours from the draw and with a light weight.
Consider
12 Quietly Arrogant
F: 00x0xB(10)W(54.0)
( J-Tommy Berry )
( T-Peter Snowden )
It's better than its form suggests, but it gets only one more chance. If it can't improve against this field, then there isn't much hope for it.
Longer Odds
8 Dashing Rupert
F: 16x32B(5)W(56.0)
( J-Dylan Gibbons )
( T-Annabel & Rob Archibald )
Nothing wrong with its two placings this prep, and it should be right around the mark at nice odds.

3 Zealously
F: 15x13B(1)W(54.0)
( J-Tom Sherry )

An excellent winner fresh up before taking on a tough field in Melbourne. Goes better this way around, and we're not surprised by the short odds.
Main Danger
8 Sunrise
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 15x91B(2)W(53.0)
( J-Zac Lloyd )
( T-Mitchell Beer & George Carpenter )
Emerging as a nice type in the making after scoring a good win last start. Gets in with only 53kg, which should make a big difference.

7 The Black Cloud
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: x220xB(6)W(53.0)
( J-Jay Ford )
( T-Joseph Pride )
It can be tough to follow at the best of times, but an overdue win isn't too far away. Another runner that gets in well off on the weights.
Consider
1 Dragonstone
F: x0706B(1)W(59.0)
( J-Adam Hyeronimus )
( T-Joseph Pride )
The reason why the rest of the field is at a light weight. A proven winner at good levels, and it could turn its form around with an improved effort.
Longer Odds
2 Barber
F: 1853xB(4)W(54.0)
( J-Tyler Schiller )
( T-Richard Litt )
A two-time winner fresh up that could sneak under the radar.
