2 Golden Century
F: x5063B(2)W(58.0)
( J-James McDonald )

Main Danger
1 Masoun
F: 00732B(1)W(61.0)
( J-Siena Grima )
( T-Chris Waller )
The better-backed Waller runner, and it comes off two placings. Nearing an overdue win, so follow the betting moves.

Dividend : $2.45
Place
F: 91431B(8)W(56.0)
( J-Tommy Berry )

F: 22111B(6)W(52.5)

11 Champagne Hero
F: 5x821B(10)W(56.5)
( J-Tim Clark )
( T-Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott )
Too good for them last time out, and it has been backed to win again. Likely to settle hand to the speed and fight on gamely.

Won
F: 45121B(7)W(59.0)
( J-Andrew Calder )

F: 23x14B(3)W(57.5)

( T-John O'shea & Tom Charlton )

10 Call Me Gorgeous
F: 1137xB(8)W(54.0)
( J-Kerrin Mcevoy )

Main Danger
8 Amazing Eagle
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 5x28xB(5)W(55.0)
( J-Tim Clark )
( T-Bjorn Baker )
A good fresh up runner, and although it didn't win last prep, not much went right for it in two runs. Could bounce back here.
Next Best
7 Prima Bella
Dividend : $7.00, $2.25
Won
F: x1931B(6)W(55.5)
( J-Mollie Fitzgerald )
( T-Matthew Smith )
Not an easy field, but it's already a two-time winner this prep, and it doesn't need to improve much to hold off this field.
Consider
1 Beast Mode
Dividend : $1.95
Place
F: 27x20B(2)W(61.0)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
Disappointing last time out, but it can produce the odd head-scratching effort. Likely to run much better this time around.
Longer Odds
5 Power Of The Brave
F: 122x6B(7)W(57.0)
( J-William Stanley )
( T-Kris Lees )
Needed the fresh up run, and it shouldn't be too far away at nice odds.

Dividend : $1.18
Place
F: 13111B(1)W(56.5)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Chris Waller )
It continues to win races after scoring three on the bounce, and we're not surprised by the money coming for it. McDonald riding helps.
Main Danger
6 Matusalem
Dividend : $3.20
Place
F: 050x6B(3)W(56.0)
( J-Siena Grima )
( T-Chris Waller )
It was always going to need a run under its belt this prep, and it could turn its form around in a big way.
Next Best

F: 1x522B(6)W(52.0)
( J-Tyler Schiller )
( T-Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr )
Well-backed to beat the favourite after putting the writing on the wall with two placings. 52kg on its back could be enough to bridge the gap.
Consider
11 Poison Chalice
F: 0x065B(5)W(53.0)
( J-Alysha Collett )
( T-Joseph Pride )
Fitter for recent racing, and it could figure in the finish with a good trip in transit. 53kg on its back is a bonus.
Longer Odds
8 Sam Hawkens
F: x870xB(10)W(54.0)
( J-Tommy Berry )
( T-John O'shea & Tom Charlton )
Didn't fire last prep, but more is expected in the spring. Stick with it.

Won
F: 1215xB(5)W(57.5)
( J-Tommy Berry )
( T-Michael Freedman )
It could come of age this prep after winning four times from eight starts. Kicking off in a tough race, but it's capable.
Main Danger
1 Angel Capital
Dividend : $1.30
Place
F: 4326xB(2)W(57.5)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Chris Waller )
The best sprinter in the field but wildly inconsistent. Needs everything to go its way, but it can't be left out as a win option based on pure ability.
Next Best
7 Gangsta Granny
F: x123xB(1)W(54.5)
( J-Tim Clark )
( T-M, W & J Hawkes )
Another runner who could win a big race this spring, and it likes to hit the ground running. Light weight and a good judge of pace in the saddle.
Consider

Dividend : $3.20
Place
F: 8x30xB(6)W(56.5)
( J-Chad Schofield )
( T-John O'shea & Tom Charlton )

Longer Odds
4 Midnight Dynamite
F: 12131B(3)W(56.0)
( J-Kerrin Mcevoy )
( T-Bjorn Baker )
The fit runner in the field, and although rising in class, it could figure in the finish.

1 Mareth
Dividend : $1.75
Place
F: 7592xB(6)W(59.5)
( J-William Stanley )
( T-Michael Freedman )
Ran second behind a nice type last prep, and it's good enough to beat this field in a fresh state. Take the each-way odds.
Main Danger
3 Scripted
F: 2732xB(3)W(58.5)
( J-Kerrin Mcevoy )
( T-Matthew Dunn )
Not everything went its way last prep, but it keeps hitting the line strongly to place. Needs pace on up front, and it should get it.
Next Best
11 Rose Aye
F: 7410xB(10)W(55.5)
( J-Tommy Berry )
( T-Matthew Dale )
Goes well fresh up, and it hasn't been missed in betting markets. 55.5kg on its back is enough to take it close.
Consider
2 Jellicious
Dividend : $2.70
Place
F: 88642B(9)W(59.0)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Chris Waller )

Longer Odds
7 Tequila Baby
F: 4x629B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Rachel King )
( T-Brad Widdup )
Mixing its form, but as it showed two back, it can run well at odds.

3 Columbia Blue
Dividend : $1.55
Place
F: 16x21B(6)W(60.0)
( J-Adam Hyeronimus )
( T-Joseph Pride )
Should be unbeaten this prep after no luck fresh up. Atoned for that with a good win last time out, and we're surprised it's not favourite.
Main Danger
4 Watson
F: 145x1B(10)W(60.0)
( J-Tim Clark )
( T-Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott )
A good resuming win, and it's the best-backed runner in the race. Wide draw won't help, but the market confidence is telling.
Next Best
8 Alabama State
F: 0341xB(9)W(58.5)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Jack Pilkington )
It looked good when ending last prep with a win, and although it can be tough to follow, the ability is there.
Consider
1 Ready To Shine
F: 21214B(5)W(61.0)
( J-Siena Grima )
( T-Matthew Smith )
A proven winner this campaign, and it has fitness on its side. Worth including in picks at the odds.
Longer Odds
5 Stardeel
F: 0x199B(4)W(59.5)
( J-Ashley Morgan )
( T-Bjorn Baker )
A fresh up winner that could turn its form around at odds.
