Heavily backed during the week, and the expensive purchase could get the job done. Looks to have above average potential.
Main Danger
1 Royal Press
Dividend : $1.65
Place
F: 2B(9)W(58.0)
( J-Jye Mcneil )
( T-Tony & Calvin Mcevoy )
The early favourite before drifting. It has race day experience when running a nose behind the winner, and that's enough to take it close.
Next Best
7 Funded
F:B(3)W(56.0)
( J-Ben Melham )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
Another runner that has been rock-solid in betting markets after a good jumpout performance. No reason why it can't run well.
Consider
6 Amelia's Affair
Dividend : $8.00, $2.35
Won
F:B(1)W(56.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Annabel & Rob Archibald )
Bred to be better than average, and getting the inside draw down the straight in the opener is a good thing. Chance at each-way odds.
Longer Odds
3 Jetsetter
F:B(2)W(58.0)
( J-Luke Currie )
( T-Tony & Calvin Mcevoy )
Solid enough jumpout form, and it could fire up on debut.

Top Pick
5 Politely Dun
F: 41642B(11)W(60.5)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Danny O'brien )
Nothing wrong with its form this preparation, and it's paying nice odds. Should enjoy the conditions and Shinn riding is a bonus.
Main Danger
10 Chispa
F: 6x880B(2)W(58.5)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Chris Waller )
It hasn't had the best of luck this season, but it could turn things around on a more open circuit. McDonald rides, so that's a positive.
Next Best
13 Yauson
Dividend : $3.50, $1.65
Won
F: x2113B(17)W(57.5)
( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott )
Good form this prep, including two wins and two placings. Heavily backed to win, which is a good sign, so it's worth including in picks.
Consider
14 Ichnusa
F: 11x7B(16)W(57.0)
( J-Thomas Stockdale )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Started its career with back-to-back wins, and although beaten last time out, it wasn't a bad effort. Should bounce back and run well.
Longer Odds
8 Federer
F: 84302B(7)W(59.5)
( J-Ben Allen )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Impossible to follow at times, but we're not about to drop it just yet at odds.

Top Pick
8 Fringilla
F: 6215B(3)W(55.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
Scratched last Saturday, and this is an easier assignment. A good winner two back, and something close to that will be enough for this.
Main Danger
2 Star Of Macedon
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 32x16B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-J G Symons & S Laxon )
Looked the goods when winning fresh up, and it hasn't been missed in betting markets. Confidently backed, and it could run accordingly.
Next Best
7 Waiheke Rose
F: 251B(7)W(55.0)
( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott )
Nominated for the Oaks on Thursday, so it might not run here. However, it can't be left out, and it could settle forward and kick strongly.
Consider
6 Katoto
F: 13x45B(9)W(55.0)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Chris Waller )
Better for two runs this preparation, and it could improve enough to beat this field, especially with the Waller/McDonald combo.
Longer Odds
4 Gilgeous
F: 4224B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Tommy Berry )
( T-Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young )
Battled on gamely last start, and it migh tbe sneaking under the radar at nice odds.

Top Pick
3 Ole Go
F: x25x1B(11)W(57.0)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Michael Hickmott )
Scored nicely fresh up, and it's another good ride for McDonald to start the day. Drawn wide down the straight, so it will get its chance to win.
Main Danger
4 Peyton
Dividend : $5.00, $2.05
Won
F: 32x15B(13)W(57.0)
( J-Zac Lloyd )
( T-John O'shea & Tom Charlton )
Drawn wider, and it could be a battle for the outside rail with the favourite. A good winner two back, and it's running well enough to win.
Next Best
12 Parcae
F: 11B(4)W(55.0)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
It's tough to rule out an unbeaten runner, and it looks to have plenty of ability. Harder down the straight, but the odds appeal.
Consider
11 Semantics
F: 3x1B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Ethan Brown )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
Scored a professional win last time out, and Godolphin has a good record in these races. Should be right around the mark.
Longer Odds
8 Gin Twist
F: 31x97B(12)W(56.0)
( J-Luke Currie )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
Better than what it has shown in two starts this prep, so allow another chance at odds.

Top Pick
10 After Summer
Dividend : $7.00
Place
F: 30x80B(1)W(55.5)
( J-Billy Egan )
( T-Dominic Sutton )
Only fair this prep, but we expect much better now, and it could bounce back with a tidy performance. Lovely odds on offer.
Main Danger
5 Jennivamoose
F: 33395B(10)W(59.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
It found the line nicely enough last time out, and it has attracted attention in betting markets. Should be right in the mix.
Next Best
4 Tempesti
F: 03632B(5)W(59.5)
( J-Jamie Mott )
( T-Gavin Bedggood )
Nearing a win after back-to-back placings, and it doesn't need to improve much to handle this field. Should be right in the mix.
Consider
2 Athabascan
F: 5x054B(18)W(59.5)
( J-Zac Lloyd )
( T-John O'shea & Tom Charlton )
Fitter for recent racing, and there is nothing wrong with its fourth last time out. Heading back to its best, so stick with it.
Longer Odds
7 Taramansour
F: x8097B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Luke Currie )
( T-Phillip & Tommy Stokes )
Another runner that is better for recent racing. Could turn things around.

Dividend : $2.60, $1.35
Won
F: 4x007B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr )
Struggling this prep at the top level, but this is a big drop in class, and it should pay off with a win. No excuses this time around, so take the odds.
Main Danger
5 St Lawrence
F: 56211B(7)W(56.0)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Gavin Bedggood )
In good form after back-to-back wins, and the former Kiwi is good enough to beat this field. McDonald rides, which boosts its chances.
Next Best
10 Darkbonee
Dividend : $1.75
Place
F: 21052B(8)W(54.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Symon Wilde )
Good form this preparation, and it although it hasn't been racing against the top level types, it's good enough to figure in the finish at the weights.
Consider
6 Al Duca
F: 28824B(2)W(55.5)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
A good second placing two back, and it wasn't all that far away last time out. Good enough to figure in the finish at nice odds.
Longer Odds
11 Magnaspin
Dividend : $5.50
Place
F: 02702B(10)W(54.0)
( J-Declan Bates )
( T-L & T Corstens & W Larkin )
It got back to good form last time out, and that confidence will do it plenty of good.
A brilliant Geelong Cup win when sitting on a hot tempo and doing enough to hold them off. The rain isn't ideal, but punters get a good price, and it should run well.
Main Danger
2 Trustyourinstinct
F: 21214B(18)W(57.0)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Joseph O'brien )
Good form in Europe, including running fourth behind Scandinavia. That's good form, and it only needs to carry the weight to figure in the finish.
Next Best
24 Shockletz
F: 64162B(17)W(51.0)
( J-Harry Coffey )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
This looks like an ideal race for it, and getting in with a light weight should make all the difference. A good stayer, and good enough to win the Cup.
Consider
12 Hopewell Rock
F: 3612xB(15)W(54.5)
( J-Zac Lloyd )
( T-George Boughey )
One of the best-backed runners in the field, and that could be worth following. Another good European, and Ebor form typically stacks up well in this race.
Longer Odds
8 Wine Dark Sea
F: 151x0B(23)W(56.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Harry Charlton )
Could pay to forget it went around in the Caulfield Cup. Things didn't pan out, but it has talent, and it could add value to picks at nice odds.

5 Ranarsson
Dividend : $2.00, $1.22
Won
F: 11B(6)W(54.0)
( J-Ben Melham )
( T-Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )
Two impressive wins to start its career, and it has been well-backed to score again. Could be a very nice type in the making, so it should run well again.
Main Danger
2 Barracks
Dividend : $2.60
Place
F: 24x12B(10)W(58.0)
( J-Ethan Brown )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Nothing wrong with its form this prep, including a win and a placing. Tough opposition, and this is up its alley.
Next Best
13 Mr Natural
F: 2x412B(2)W(54.0)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Lindsey Smith )
Backed to beat the favourite, and it looked good when winning two back. Something close to that could be good enough.
Consider
9 Harry Lime
Dividend : $2.45
Place
F: 118B(5)W(54.0)
( J-Rachel King )
( T-Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott )
Kicked off its career with back-to-back wins, and it could bounce back from a disappointing run. Nice odds available.
Longer Odds
3 Our Emperor
F: 1x783B(8)W(55.0)
( J-Tim Clark )
( T-Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott )
Improving effort for third last time out, and that should be a tidy form guide.

Dividend : $4.40
Place
F: 2x552B(16)W(55.0)
( J-Luke Nolen )
( T-Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman )
A good run last time out, and we thought that it would be shorter in betting markets. Happy to take the value available for a nice type.
Main Danger
2 Shadhavar
Dividend : $2.70, $1.45
Won
F: x1421B(2)W(58.0)
( J-Craig Williams )
( T-Tom Dabernig )
Too good for them last time out, and although there is more depth to this field, it's good enough to put them away again.
Next Best
8 Terilee
F: 15x32B(8)W(55.0)
( J-William Pike )
( T-Michael Kent )
Second behind Shadhavar last time out, and that's a solid form guide for this contest. Pike rides, and it will be well-backed late.
Consider
7 So You Pence
F: 1x1x3B(4)W(55.0)
( J-Tommy Berry )
( T-Matthew Dale )
Sydney form is often good enough to win in Melbourne, and it has been running well this year. Can't be overlooked.
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
1 Stylish
F: 73516B(5)W(58.0)
( J-Ethan Brown )

7 Jett Smash
Dividend : $2.00
Place
F: 14x16B(11)W(55.5)
( J-Damian Lane )
( T-Danny O'brien )
Nothing went right last time out, but it could bounce back with a big performance. Going under the radar, so the odds are worth taking.
Main Danger
1 Buccleuch
F: x1171B(4)W(60.5)
( J-Billy Egan )
( T-Patrick Payne )
It knows how to put itself in the race and win. Already a three-time winner this prep, and another win could be available here.
Next Best
4 Space Rider
F: 0x224B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr )
Getting close to posting a win this prep after two placings. Solid enough last time out, and it could head forward and kick on gamely.
Consider
12 Everain
F: 315x4B(10)W(54.0)
( J-Zac Lloyd )
( T-Anthony & Sam Freedman )
Never too far away from the prize, and it comes off a good effort. Should improve and run well enough to go close.
Longer Odds
8 Cash
F: 12x03B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Ethan Brown )
( T-Michael Hickmott )
Could sneak under the radar at nice odds. Inside draw is tricky, but it could stick on gamely.
