  Place

  F: x4211   B(1)  W(57.0)

   ( J- James McDonald )

   ( T- Chris Waller )

  Comes off some nice wins in Sydney, and that form should stack up nicely in Melbourne. McDonald riding, and it should run well.

  Main Danger

  

  3 High Falls  

  F: 11   B(3)  W(57.0)

   ( J- John Allen )

   ( T- Shane Jackson )

  F: 321   B(2)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Ben Melham )

   ( T- Clinton McDonald )

  Consider

  Won

  F: 2x3   B(7)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Damian Lane )

  F: 1x231   B(9)  W(57.0)

   ( J- William Pike )

   ( T- Anthony & Sam Freedman )

  Won

  F: 2x113   B(7)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Michael Dee )

   ( T- Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )

  A lot to like about its form this prep, and it ran behind some smart types last time out. Good enough to kick back and get back to winning form.

  Main Danger

  

  4 Pin Up Sheila  

  F: 11x62   B(5)  W(56.0)

   ( J- James McDonald )

   ( T- John O'shea & Tom Charlton )

  2 I Am Aria  

  F: x1722   B(11)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Blake Shinn )

   ( T- Mark Walker )

  Dividend : $2.70

  Place

  F: 22221   B(13)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Craig Williams )

   ( T- Chris Waller )

  Capped off consistent form with an easy win last time out. Not an easy field to beat here, but Waller doesn't often travel them for fun.

  F: 21   B(12)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Patrick Moloney )

   ( T- Matt Laurie )

  Won

  F: 4x524   B(8)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Blake Shinn )

   ( T- Chris Waller )

  The former Kiwi didn't lose any admirers last time out, and the race wasn't run to suit. Should bounce back, and it's a speedy type.

  Next Best

  

  5 Your Colour  

  F: 40132   B(15)  W(55.0)

   ( J- James McDonald )

   ( T- Chris Waller )

  Nothing wrong with the way it found the line last time out, and it just needs a touch of luck from a wide barrier to take it close here.

  Consider

  

  7 Sumac  

  F: x6751   B(3)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Jye Mcneil )

   ( T- Lee & Cherie Curtis )

  A good winner last time out, and it could handle the rise in class in fine style. Not escaping the eyes of punters, who have had a nibble.

  Longer Odds

  

  10 Fringilla  

  F: 6215   B(17)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Luke Currie )

   ( T- Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )

   ( J- Craig Williams )

   ( T- Cindy Alderson )

  2 Napoleonic  

  F: 30x26   B(5)  W(59.5)

   ( J- James McDonald )

   ( T- John O'shea & Tom Charlton )

  It has been facing tough fields, so this will be a nice grade for it. Could turn its form around based on that, and the each-way odds appeal.

  Next Best

  

  5 Sweynesday  

  Dividend : $2.90

  Place

  F: x50x5   B(9)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Daniel Stackhouse )

  F: 32x04   B(3)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Blake Shinn )

   ( T- Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman )

  Longer Odds

  

  11 De Bergerac  

  F: 13696   B(2)  W(54.5)

  Won

  F: x2732   B(9)  W(59.0)

   ( J- James McDonald )

   ( T- Joseph Pride )

  5 Warnie  

  F: x4164   B(1)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Mark Zahra )

   ( T- Ciaron Maher )

  It finds its best form this time of the year, and there is no reason to jump off its back. Drawn the rails, which could be the place to be.

  Consider

  

  11 Steparty  

  F: 150x2   B(12)  W(54.5)

   ( J- John Allen )

   ( T- Paul Preusker )

  Another runner that finds its best form throughout this carnival. A good run last time out, and it should be right in the mix.

   ( J- Beau Mertens )

   ( T- Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr )

  F: 211x1   B(13)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Mark Zahra )

   ( T- Ciaron Maher )

  A booming win down the outside last time out, and it could be a very good sprinter in the making. Likely to come down the outside rail again.

  Main Danger

  

  5 St Gotthard  

  Dividend : $1.70

  Place

  F: 11x22   B(6)  W(57.0)

   ( J- James McDonald )

   ( T- Chris Waller )

  Sydney form must always be respected, and it comes off a placing behind Warwoven, who won the Guineas. That's a good form guide, and it can sprint well.

  F: 14x11   B(4)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Ben Melham )

   ( T- John O'shea & Tom Charlton )

  A lovely type in the making, but it will be awkward from the barrier. Could drop to the back and look to round them up late. A quality type.

  Consider

  

  12 Natural Fling  

  F: 2x132   B(8)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Damian Lane )

   ( T- Tony & Calvin Mcevoy )

  2 Paradoxium  

  F: 06x14   B(12)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Jason Collett )

   ( T- Bjorn Baker )

   ( J- Billy Egan )

   ( T- Danny O'brien )

  A good winner last time out, and although it hasn't been exposed to Group 1 racing, it could be a nice Derby type in the making. Nice odds.

  1 Cormier  

  F: x0843   B(3)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Jamie Mott )

   ( T- Paul Messara & Leah Gavranich )

   ( J- James McDonald )

   ( T- Chris Waller )

  Perfectly weighted for this race, and the money has come unsurprisingly. A big win last time out, which is the best form guide for this.

  3 Surfin' Bird  

  F: 1x411   B(9)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Blake Shinn )

   ( T- Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott )

  F: x2211   B(10)  W(57.0)

  F: 1x558   B(13)  W(59.0)

   ( J- William Pike )

   ( T- Mark Walker )

  Cost punters plenty when bombing the start last time out, so it needs to jump on terms with them. Good enough to win if everything goes right.

  4 Flying For Fun  

  Dividend : $2.25, $1.30

  Won

  F: 49x72   B(15)  W(57.0)

  F: 0x433   B(9)  W(57.0)
