Main Danger
3 Zenmaster
Dividend : $4.00, $1.70
Won
F: 63881B(5)W(59.0)
( J-Rachel King )
( T-Craig Carmody )
Winning form is good form for this level of racing. Confidence levels should be up, so include it in win bets.
Next Best
8 Kilbrannan
F: 51194B(6)W(56.0)
( J-Tommy Berry )
( T-Gary Portelli )
Good enough to score back-to-back wins earlier this prep, and it could get back to its best form at the weights.
Consider
9 Dollars
F: 31x91B(13)W(56.0)
( J-Zac Lloyd )
( T-Jason Deamer )
Nothing wrong with its last-start win, and it could sneak under the radar at the odds. Just needs luck from a wide draw to go close.
Longer Odds
5 Tenderize
F: x0661B(11)W(58.0)
( J-Alysha Collett )
( T-Gary Portelli )
We're sticking with the last-start winners. Showed good toughness to score, so include in picks.

Top Pick
4 Travolta
F: 61x43B(13)W(55.5)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Chris Waller )
Two good efforts this prep, and it's one of the more consistent stayers going around. Having McDonald riding is a bonus.
Main Danger
7 Piggyback
F: 18x51B(3)W(54.5)
( J-Dylan Gibbons )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Liked the way it picked them up last start, and it could go back-to-back. 54.5kg on its back makes its turn-of-foot easier to show.
Next Best
3 Alalcance
F: 6x36xB(5)W(57.0)
( J-Nash Rawiller )
( T-Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott )
It typically runs its best races early in the prep, and it could settle on speed and give them something to chase. Respected in markets.
Consider
13 Sam Hawkens
F: 1x7x8B(7)W(53.0)
( J-Zac Lloyd )
( T-John O'shea & Tom Charlton )
Not the best runs since arriving in Australia, but we're giving it another chance. Should appreciate getting down in the weights.
Longer Odds
14 Unlimited
F: 51173B(7)W(53.0)
( J-Tyler Schiller )
( T-Chris Waller )
Another dangerous type down in the weights. It doesn't need to lift too much to beat this field.

Dividend : $2.80, $1.10
Won
F: 27B(7)W(56.5)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Annabel & Rob Archibald )
Beaten by Streisand twice, including in the Blue Diamond Stakes last start. That was a solid effort in defeat, and a win is coming.
Main Danger
1 Agrarian Girl
Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 1B(5)W(56.5)
( J-Tim Clark )
( T-Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott )
A good debut winner, and it could keep that record going. There is good betting support coming for it, which is another good sign.
Next Best
8 Naadra
F: 2B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Jason Collett )
( T-Michael Freedman )
Second on debut, and they don't often take long to win from this ownership group. Ideally drawn, and it could battle on gamely.
Consider
12 Rachini
F: 5xB(8)W(56.5)
( J-Rachel King )
( T-Bjorn Baker )
Spelled following a fifth on debut. Should only be stronger here, and it has looked good at the jumpouts since. Worth including at the price.
Longer Odds
5 Potomac River
F: 1B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Christian Reith )
( T-David Atkins )
It got the job done nicely on debut, and although there is more depth to this field, it could measure up.

Top Pick
1 Stretan Ruler
Dividend : $1.20
Place
F: 2x41B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Chad Schofield )
( T-Phillip Stokes )
Thought it would be the favourite following a booming win last time out. A Golden Slipper fancy, and it could go back-to-back.
Main Danger
4 Paradoxium
Dividend : $2.60, $1.30
Won
F: 4x1xB(5)W(56.5)
( J-Jason Collett )
( T-Bjorn Baker )
Spelled following a good win last time out. It has had some issues since, but there is good betting support, which is a good sign.
Next Best
2 Hidrix
F: 13B(8)W(56.5)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Chris Waller )
Raced in an awkward spot last time out, which followed an impressive win. Good enough to turn that form around and be right in the mix.
Consider
11 Tornado Valley
F: 3122B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Zac Lloyd )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Nothing wrong with its form, including a win and three placings. Should be right around the mark again, and the odds appeal.
Longer Odds
3 Incognito
F: 1x54B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Tommy Berry )
( T-Michael Freedman )
Third up. Won only race last campaign and improvers chance

3 Beadman
Dividend : $2.40, $1.60
Won
F: x320xB(5)W(58.5)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Peter Snowden )
A lovely type making its return. Didn't fire last time out, but it showed electric speed as a 2YO. Looks set to make a big comeback.
Main Danger
4 Inkaruna
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 3721xB(1)W(57.0)
( J-Zac Lloyd )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
It ended last prep with a good win, and it could resume with something similar. A strong filly with plenty of upside.
Next Best
1 Hidden Motive
Dividend :
Place
F: 3510xB(2)W(59.0)
( J-Tim Clark )
( T-Nathan Doyle )
It has more than enough speed to beat this field in a fresh up state. Likely to find the front off an inside draw and it could kick clear.
Consider
6 Caffe Florian
F: 3111xB(7)W(56.0)
( J-Jason Collett )
( T-Richard Litt )
Fresh up and shooting for four consecutive wins. Tough to discount that form, despite rising in class. Could be a nice type in the making.
Longer Odds
7 Mareth
F: 6x127B(3)W(54.0)
( J-Dylan Gibbons )
( T-Michael Freedman )
The fit runner of the field after three starts this prep. Could be right around the mark at odds.

Top Pick
Best "Each Way"
7 Polymnia
Dividend : $2.40
Place
F: 353x6B(12)W(53.0)
( J-Zac Lloyd )
( T-John O'shea & Tom Charlton )
Not the easiest runner to follow, but if they go quickly up front, it can finish over them with a sustained finish. A lovely type on its day.
Main Danger
5 Unleeshing
F: x3311B(10)W(53.5)
( J-Jason Collett )
( T-Bjorn Baker )
Looking for three consecutive wins, and it stays down in the weights at 53.5kg. Should be tough to beat with that weight.
Next Best
2 Pinito
Dividend : $3.80, $1.60
Won
F: 212x4B(5)W(56.5)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Chris Waller )
Didn't do much wrong with running fourth fresh up. A big type that will appreciate the run under its belt, and McDonald rides.
Consider
1 Quietness
F: x342xB(2)W(58.5)
( J-Tommy Berry )
( T-John O'shea & Tom Charlton )
It didn't win last prep but it ran well with two placings from three starts. Drawn to get a soft run, and that could pay dividends late.
Longer Odds
9 Sweltering
F: 621x5B(1)W(53.0)
( J-Andrew Adkins )
( T-Chris Waller )
It was always going to improve with the run under its belt, and it could be time to show its best now.

Top Pick
1 Giga Kick
F: x11x5B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Nash Rawiller )
( T-Clayton Douglas )
Good seeing it back to its best last campaign. The former Everest winner has class on its side, and this race looks tailor made for it.
Main Danger
8 Raging Force
F: 1720xB(2)W(56.0)
( J-Tommy Berry )
( T-Peter Snowden )
A dynamic sprinter on its day, and it's good enough to cause a minor upset over Giga Kick. Drawn well and it could hold them off.
Next Best
4 Generosity
Dividend : $9.90, $2.80
Won
F: x937xB(4)W(56.5)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Chris Waller )
Cost punters plenty last prep, but it's paying much better odds for its fresh up run. Can't be left out of picks at the price.
Consider
2 Mazu
Dividend : $2.00
Place
F: 4393xB(6)W(58.5)
( J-Rachel King )
( T-Joseph Pride )
There is a bit of moisture in the surface, and that's right up its alley. Its best form comes in the wet, and that's why it's being kept safe in the market.
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
3 Skybird
F: 1x69xB(3)W(56.5)
( J-Tim Clark )
( T-Mitchell Freedman )
Likely to settle back and come with a big late run if things pan out well for it. Upset danger.
Screaming out for the mile and it gets it here. Lovely run for third last start when hitting the line with good authority. Proven at G1 level.
Main Danger
9 Sheza Alibi
Dividend : $1.90, $1.00
Won
F: 311x1B(4)W(54.5)
( J-Luke Nolen )
( T-Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman )
An absolute gun after winning impressively last time out. Defeated by Autumn Boy last prep, but it has improved nicely. The obvious quinella.
Next Best
3 Ninja
F: x3121B(8)W(56.5)
( J-Tommy Berry )
( T-Michael Freedman )
Its last start win can't be overlooked. It got the better of Autumn Boy, and there are no indications that getting 1600m will be a problem.
Consider
2 Attica
Dividend : $2.60
Place
F: 211x4B(9)W(56.5)
( J-Adam Hyeronimus )
( T-Joseph Pride )
Ran good sectionals in the same race as Autumn Boy/Ninja last time out. Found the line impressively, and it could cause a minor upset.
Longer Odds
7 Decorum
F: 21x11B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Nash Rawiller )
( T-Michael Freedman )
Shooting for four wins in a row. The up and comer in the field, and it could spark some interest.

6 Joliestar
Dividend : $1.80, $1.20
Won
F: 153x1B(4)W(57.0)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Chris Waller )
Doesn't want it too wet, but its hot in Sydney, so the track should dry out. The class runner of the field, and it returned in fine style last start.
Main Danger
7 Lady Shenandoah
Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 472x3B(9)W(57.0)
( J-Nash Rawiller )
( T-Chris Waller )
Pulled out off heels last start and hit the line with purpose. Becoming a touch enigmatic, but the raw speed is there. Just needs things to go its way.
Next Best
1 Gringotts
F: 2110xB(8)W(59.0)
( J-Tommy Berry )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Underrated Gringotts at your peril. It keeps delivering, and although this distance could be short of its best, it rarely does much wrong.
Consider
3 Linebacker
F: x717xB(6)W(59.0)
( J-Dylan Gibbons )
( T-John O'shea & Tom Charlton )
Speaking of enigmatic runners. Linebacker is a bit of a head case, but a seriously good sprinter when it's right. Showed that two back, so include based on that effort.
Longer Odds
8 Beiwacht
Dividend : $2.70
Place
F: 214x8B(3)W(56.0)
( J-Adam Hyeronimus )
( T-Chris Waller )
Looked as though it needed the run last time out. A powerful type paying double-figure odds.

Dividend : $2.60, $1.30
Won
F: 2313xB(11)W(58.5)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-M, W & J Hawkes )
A quality type that only needs to navigate the wide draw to be right in the mix. McDonald rides, which boosts confidence.
Main Danger
3 Idle Flyer
F: 1210xB(2)W(54.5)
( J-Zac Lloyd )
( T-Matthew Smith )
Didn't fire last time out but it should return in good order. Heavily backed throughout the week, and it could keep firming.
Next Best
1 Abounding
F: 3219xB(12)W(59.0)
( J-Tommy Berry )
( T-Robert Heathcote )
It has performed well in some tough races, and a win fresh up wouldn't surprise. Drawn wide, but it can finish off well.
Consider
7 Snow In May
F: 3473xB(5)W(53.5)
( J-Jason Collett )
( T-John O'shea & Tom Charlton )
It's often better than its form suggests, and it could sneak under the radar. Likely to settle back and come with a big finish.
Longer Odds
10 Lady Extreme
F: 519x5B(7)W(53.0)
( J-Jay Ford )
( T-Blake Ryan )
It should enjoy getting down in the weights, and it could cause a blow out at nice odds.
