Struggling to win a race after 15 attempts, but it has been close. Recorded back-to-back placings earlier this prep, so stick with it.

Place
F: 002B(3)W(59.5)
( J-Jake Noonan )
( T-Amy & Ash Yargi )
Turned its form around with a second placing last start. That was much better than what it had been showing, and it has been well backed to win.

( J-Neil Farley )

Improving with every run, and that progression could continue. Worth including in picks.

Place
F: 4B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Lachlan Neindorf )

A solid fourth on debut and there is plenty of room for improvement. In good hands, and it pays to follow the money from this stable.

Dividend : $2.60, $1.40
Won
F: 3x33B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Beau Mertens )
( T-Greg Eurell )
Three starts for three placings, and it's one of the best-backed runners in the field. Barrier four is ideal, and it should be right around the mark.
Next Best
3 Boomeroo
F:B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
Bred to be handy, having cost $500k. Could make an early impression, and having Craig Wiliams in the saddle helps. Should be right around the mark.
Consider
6 Light Filled
F: 253B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Declan Bates )
( T-Robert Hickmott )
Two placings from three starts, so it's tough to look past that form. Inside draw is ideal, and it was always going to improve with racing.
Longer Odds
7 Queen Victorious
F: 93B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Logan Bates )
( T-Richard Laming )
It didn't show much on debut but it quickly improved to finish third last time out. Shouldn't be left out.

12 Mission Of Joy
F: 2B(10)W(56.0)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
Nothing wrong with its second placing on debut, and it only needs a touch of luck from a wide barrier. Good enough to upset the fav.
Main Danger

Dividend : $1.50, $1.00
Won
F: 22xB(2)W(56.0)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Matt Laurie )
Two starts for two second placings, and it has been hammered in betting markets. That's a good sign, and although the odds are skinny, it can't be left out.

2 Jade Trees
F: 2B(6)W(59.5)
( J-Teo Nugent )
( T-M, W & J Hawkes )
Another runner coming off a solid debut placing. There is good room for improvement, and it just needs to carry the big weight.

Place
F: 4xB(7)W(56.0)
( J-Declan Bates )
( T-Tony & Calvin McEvoy )
Fourth on debut before spelling. Should be stronger for the spell, and we're not worried by the drifting odds. Could add value.
Longer Odds
8 Trentino
F:B(9)W(58.0)
( J-Beau Mertens )
( T-Julius Sandhu )
Trial form is solid enough, and it's bred to show early speed. Could figure in the finish at odds.

2 Grande Terre
F: 1xB(6)W(59.0)

( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )

Dividend :
Place
F: 31xB(3)W(57.0)
( J-Jake Noonan )

A winner at Ballarat before spelling. It has since won two trials at Mornington, so it looks ready to make a winning return from a hot stable.

Place
F: 1xB(1)W(57.5)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Grahame Begg )

( J-Stephen Vella )
