1. Manighar Preview:
Manighar is coming off a Winter campaign and despite winning a race he ran the top four on three occasions including a second in the Eagle Farm Cup. He has a very good first up record and loves Flemington although i doubt he has the turn of foot to beat some of those in this race.

2. Mourayan Preview:
Mourayan won the Sydney Cup last start and will be looking for further distances with the Melbourne Cup being his main aim. He wont have the toe to go with some of the runners in this field and i doubt we will see him in the first handful but watch for him over longer.

December Draw will be returning from a long break and bookmakers are keeping him very safe in the market based on his quality although i think first up off a long break in WFA conditions will be too tough for him

Puissance De Lune will jump as the short priced favourite in the Makybe Diva Stakes on Saturday and rightfully so as he has shown a lot of quality in all of his Australian starts including an exceptional win in the PB Lawrence Stakes last start. Back him at any price.

10. Masked Marvel Preview:
Masked Marvel will be having his first Australian start in the Makybe Diva Stakes and he has raced in some very good races around the world and must be kept safe although over the mile i think they may have too much toe for him.

11. Beaten Up – Scratched
12. Waldpark Preview:
Waldpark looks a very good up and coming stayer with all of his recent form coming out of good Group races overseas. He will no doubt be looking for further distance although you always have to watch the international form lines and he could run a big race at odds.

Weight to be carried: 59kg
13. Moudre Preview:
Moudre will jump at big odds in the race and despite having quite a poor preparation over the Spring last year i think he can put in a big campaign this year and has to be included in multiples at a good price.

Breeding: Blevic X Tolkaami

14. Bit Of Hell Preview:
Bit Of Hell will jump as one of the rank outsiders in the race and i doubt he can match it with the class of some of the horses in this race so im happy to leave him out.
