Won
F: 8x211B(9)W(60.0)
( J-Ryan Houston )

Dividend : $2.00
Place
F: 3x596B(4)W(60.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Ciaron Maher )

Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 14212B(7)W(55.0)
( J-Harry Coffey )
( T-Symon Wilde )

Consider
5 Wonder Kid
F: 6x055B(1)W(59.0)
( J-Ethan Brown )
( T-Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr )
Fitter for three runs under its belt and it hasn't been too far away at its last two. Could sneak under the radar at a nice price.

Top Pick
5 Almost An Angel
F: 1B(7)W(56.0)
( J-Luke Nolen )
( T-Robbie Griffiths )
It picked them up impressively to win on debut, and having that experience is a bonus against this field. Should run well again.
Main Danger
1 Alibaba
Dividend : $2.10
Place
F:B(4)W(58.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Ken & Kasey Keys )
It had good early betting support before drifting a touch. Should be right in this on debut, so expect a nice effort.
Next Best
6 Luna Vega
F: 3B(10)W(56.0)
( J-Linda Meech )
( T-Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young )
Not far away when third on debut and there is plenty of improvement to come. Just looking for a bit of luck after drawing wide.
Consider
10 Morning Whisper
F:B(8)W(56.0)
( J-Ethan Brown )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Rock-solid in betting markets, which is often a good sign for a debut runner. Jumpout form bodes well for a positive debut.
Longer Odds
3 Stretan Ruler
Dividend : $4.10
Place
F:B(12)W(58.0)
( J-Lachlan Neindorf )
( T-Phillip Stokes )

Top Pick
1 Skippers Canyon
F: x12x1B(4)W(61.5)
( J-Logan Bates )
( T-Phillip Stokes )
The former Kiwi was too good for them last time out, and it has the pedigree to keep winning in Aus. Smart type in the making.
Main Danger
10 Sigiriya Rock
Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 7x512B(10)W(58.5)
( J-Ben Melham )
( T-Chris Waller )
A good winner two back and it went down fighting last time out. Nothing wrong with that form, and it should go close again.
Next Best
15 Full Hao
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 0x422B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Chris Waller )
It brings in slightly different form lines to the top two picks, but it ran well for second last start. 55kg is a big help.
Consider
6 Seven's
F: 46614B(11)W(60.0)
( J-Ryan Houston )
( T-Annabel & Rob Archibald )
It has enough speed to worry a few of these, and punters get generous odds. 2kg comes off to help with the weight.
Longer Odds
3 Chakado
F: 130x3B(7)W(60.5)
( J-Thomas Stockdale )
( T-Phillip Stokes )
Nothing wrong with its third placing fresh up and it could build on that. Sneaking under the radar.

Top Pick
6 Caffettiera
F: 312B(5)W(55.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
A strong winner two back before fighting to the line last start. Could be maturing into a nice type, so it should run well.
Main Danger
1 Chergui
F: 2x214B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
Another Godolphin runner that had good betting support early before drifting a touch. Capable of bouncing back from a disappointing effort.

Dividend : $4.00, $1.90
Won
F: 21B(8)W(55.0)
( J-Harry Coffey )
( T-Tony & Calvin McEvoy )

Consider

Dividend : $2.30
Place
F: 3x21B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Lachlan Neindorf )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
Three starts for a win and two placings, so it's hard to discount based on its form. Money has come for it, which is a good sign.
Longer Odds

7 Hi Val
F: 7x421B(4)W(55.0)
( J-Michael Dee )

1 Different Gravy
Dividend : $1.90, $1.20
Won
F: x5121B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Henry Dwyer )
A good winner during Cup Week, and that form should stack up well here. Should get a gun ride from Zahra, who is on fire.
Main Danger
2 Kaleo
F: 8x864B(7)W(58.0)
( J-Ethan Brown )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Better for three runs this preparation, including a fourth last time out. Fitter, and the each-way odds are worth taking.
Next Best
6 Snitz Sonic
Dividend : $2.70
Place
F: 217B(11)W(57.0)
( J-Harry Coffey )
( T-Jason Warren )
There are good form lines around its win two back. Only fair last start but it has a good chance to bounce back at a nice price.
Consider
3 Call Da Vinci
F: 3x255B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Bevan Laming )
Fitter now and it doesn't know how to run a bad race. Drawn to get all favours, and having Williams in the saddle could be enough.
Longer Odds
8 Gold Topaz
F: 8x341B(4)W(57.0)
( J-John Allen )
( T-Mitchell Freedman )
Got the job done last start and it's capable of going back-to-back with some luck in running.

Dividend : $1.00
Place
F: 222x1B(3)W(56.0)
( J-Ethan Brown )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
It was an impressive way to exit maidens last time out, and it has more wins on the horizon. Not surprised by the shortening odds.
Main Danger
1 Kujenga
F: 40732B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Annabel & Rob Archibald )
It has form around some smart types, and it hasn't been missed in betting markets. Good enough to figure in the finish here.

Dividend : $3.20
Place
F: 21B(7)W(56.0)
( J-Michael Dee )

F: 16574B(1)W(56.0)
( J-Jordan Childs )

( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
Facing a rise in class but it won well enough last start to warrant attention.

3 Detonator Jack
F: 57752B(4)W(59.0)
( J-Ethan Brown )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Loved the way it found the line on the inside of runners last time out. That should be a good form guide, and it's long overdue a win.
Main Danger
1 Kingswood
F: 5x281B(7)W(60.0)
( J-John Allen )
( T-Gavin Bedggood )
Too tough for them at Flemington last time out, and it could go back-to-back. A nice type at this level, hence the betting support.
Next Best
5 Poison Chalice
F: 45x63B(5)W(56.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Paul Preusker )
Better for two runs back from a spell and it wasn't far away when third last time out. Heavily backed to win, which is worth noting.
Consider

Won
F: 65825B(1)W(59.0)

Dividend : $3.10, $1.50
Won
F: 2x112B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-Grahame Begg )
The former Kiwi has been heavily backed throughout the week, which isn't surprising. Yet to finish worse than second, and it didn't enjoy conditions last start. On top.
Main Danger
13 Alalcance
F: 0x6x3B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott )
Some of the shine has come off this runner after making a big early impression. However, it ran well for third last start, and it's worth sticking with.
Next Best
1 Light Infantry Man
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 06955B(9)W(59.0)
( J-Ethan Brown )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
A proven Group 1 performer, so this is a level below. It won't get a better chance to post a win, so it can't be discounted based on its form.
Consider
2 Kovalica
F: 05430B(5)W(59.0)
( J-Beau Mertens )
( T-Chris Waller )
Another runner that will appreciate facing easier opposition. A good third two back, and something similar to that would be good enough.
Longer Odds
4 Alenquer
F: x6027B(11)W(59.0)
( J-Ben Allen )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
Not always the most consistent type going around, but it's capable of producing the goods at odds.

1 Bellatrix Star
F: 1120xB(1)W(60.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Mark Walker )

F: 2x321B(4)W(54.0)
( J-Beau Mertens )

Won
F: x3796B(2)W(60.0)

Place
F: 151x3B(7)W(57.0)

Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: x1541B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Harry Coffey )

Consider
11 Craig
F: 1220xB(6)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young )

Longer Odds
2 Royal Insignia
F: 34088B(1)W(58.5)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Grahame Begg )
Better than its recent form suggests, and it could figure in the finish off an inside draw.
