1 Legacy Bound (Bet Now:  $SP.00) looks the winner if he’s ready to go. Pretty sharp galloper for Robbie Griffiths that resumes, having not raced since placing in the Coolmore behind Tentyris when game as ever in defeat. Two strong jumpouts under the belt, proven down the straight, I think class alone gets him home.

4 Military Tycoon (Bet Now:  $SP.00) was thrown in the deep end last time out in the Lightning and while outclassed, I thought she was far from disgraced in defeat behind Tentyris. Much better suited here and if there is petrol left in the tank, she’s dangerous.

3 Burma Star (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is better suited over further but he does have a touch of quality about him, as seen during Cup Week when a winner over 1400m here on Cup Day. Jumpout work has been encouraging and he’ll be strong late.

I want to give 7 Codigo (Bet Now:  $SP.00) another chance. I thought he should have been right in the finish at Caulfield two weeks ago but just got badly held up at the wrong stage and only got out very late when fourth to Verdoux. If he gets room to move and wind up here. he’ll take holding out.

6 Castellar (Bet Now:  $SP.00) has done little wrong in recent times and commands respect. He was brave at Caulfield last time behind Verdoux given he did too much work on speed and just felt the pinch late in the piece when third. He was brave. If he’s got petrol in the tank, he appeals.

8 Hezdarnhottoo (Bet Now:  $SP.00) resumed two weeks back over this trip at Rosehill when leading and he gave a decent sight in front, just feeling the pinch late behind Signor Tortoni in a race that rated through the roof. If there is no second up syndrome, he appeals.

1 Rebel Tuesday (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a beauty for Phillip Stokes and should take beating after her Cinderella Stakes triumph two weeks ago. Loved the way she knuckled down late, proving quite strong to the line and just got there. Stable is flying with their juveniles and happy to have her as top seed.

4 Scintillation (Bet Now:  $SP.00) comes here off the back of a debut win at Gosford where she led throughout and while I doubt she was 100% happy on the tight track, class came to the fore and she was too good. Lands near the front and will be hard to get past.

8 Jadzia (Bet Now:  $SP.00) looks a sharp filly for Grahame Begg and keen to see how she goes at start one. Won a trial last week at Caulfield, moving very well late when clicked up and had plenty in the tank. Think she’s above average, she can win.

4 On Display (Bet Now:  $SP.00) for me. Price/Kent trained mare that resumes, having not raced since the Empire Rose when far from disgraced, finishing third to Pride Of Jenni. Looks to have jumped out really well for the return and takes beating against these.

2 Cafe Millennium (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is three weeks between runs since taking out The Elms at this track/distance, having race fitness on his side and produced a strong finale from off speed to score. He’s flying this horse and does seem quite effective at the Flemington 1400m. Hard to beat.

9 Scheelite (Bet Now:  $SP.00) attempted to lead throughout in The Elms and he gave a decent sight from the front but first up, he just lacked the change up speed to win and just felt the pinch late behind Cafe Millennium. Better for the run, and I think with a bunny to chase, he’ll be far more effective.

1 Salty Pearl (Bet Now:  $SP.00) looks the clear top seed for me. She ran over 1400m in the Armanasco two weeks ago when off speed and chased strongly but was simply no match for the turn of foot produced by Sheza Alibi. Hard fit, 1600m, no horse of that quality here, keen.

2 Sass Appeal (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a beauty for Danny O’Brien. She won the Desirable a fortnight back, getting complete front end control and she gave nothing else a look in to win well. Form has been franked via Ole Dancer and if the mile is fine, she clearly takes beating.

6 Exit (Bet Now:  $SP.00) ran fifth to Sheza Alibi in the Armanasco. She got back in the run and while she was never threatening, she kept chasing and was pretty good in defeat I thought. Like the rise to the mile for her and her best is good enough to be dangerous.

1 Zambales (Bet Now:  $SP.00) has lengths on these if he’s got petrol in the tank. Second in the Talindert before backing up in the Blue Diamond and he ran a beauty in defeat I thought behind Streisand. Racing as if 1400m is ideal, Zahra on, kind map…looks a good thing.

3 Diameter (Bet Now:  $SP.00) should appreciate 1400m after resuming over 1100m in the Talindert. He found them a bit sharp over the short course but he kept chasing and finding the line in defeat in a pretty good effort. Better set up here and does bring strong form lines.

10 Grinzinger Heart (Bet Now:  $SP.00) debuted in the Talindert three weeks back and while safely held, I thought he was far from disgraced in defeat behind impressive winner Hard Kick. Rise in trip I find interesting, so watch the market.

I just don’t see how they beat 8 Pride Of Jenni (Bet Now:  $SP.00). Yes, there is that query of which Jenni turns up. The best version or the camel version. Jumpout/trial work has been solid enough but on race day, we know she is an absolute beast when on song and if she is ready to go, brings somewhere near her best, they won’t beat her.

I think 11 Leica Lucy (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is the one from the Futurity to take into this race. Market said she wasn’t there to play, sh was back last, wanting to lay in, but gee I liked the way she finished her race off in defeat. Eats up the Flemington mile, she’ll be strong late and is a definite winning chance.

7 Sabaj (Bet Now:  $SP.00) has to be going very close here with eyes towards the Doncaster I feel. He resumed in The Elms and yes, was held up and in restricted room, but I did think he had his chance when second to Cafe Millennium. Fitter, the mile, yes, it is a hard race, but he has the potential to be a star. Has to show it here.

1 Benagil (Bet Now:  $SP.00) takes beating here I feel. She resumed two weeks ago in the Mannerism and I thought her run was full of merit the way she closed off against a crazy slow tempo and she was a definite pass mark in defeat. Fitter, 1600m, hopefully a more genuine tempo, she takes beating.

8 Sea What I See (Bet Now:  $SP.00) has returned well and is a key threat after her return in the Tressady when off speed and closed strongly in the straight but had to settle for a second to Paradise City. Fitter and up to the mile, can settle handy and will be strong late.

10 Miss Tarzy (Bet Now:  $SP.00) should be better for the run in the Tressady where the race shape wasn’t really to her liking but she kept chasing and was a definite pass mark in defeat behind Paradise City. Fitter and up in trip, good upside to come, a definite threat.

The jockey booking scares the absolute you know what out of me, but at the odds, I have to back 14 Wodeton (Bet Now:  $SP.00) each way. He was left flat footed when they sprinted in the Eskimo Prince but loved the way he kept chasing. I’ve been near the front of the queue to say he’s overrated, but I think the return was quite encouraging and his jumpout win here last week…he looked to be absolutely jogging. Each way for me.

2 Tentyris… (Bet Now:  $SP.00) what more can you say? No horse could do what he did in the Lightning. Tardy away, last in the run, last at the 250m and then was given clear air…and just exploded, making an absolute mess. I will say, with respect, he’s only beaten My Gladiola the last two runs/wins, so how strong is that form? Not sure, but to the eye, he’s an absolute beast and will love the rise to 1200m.

Can certainly speck 9 Disneck (Bet Now:  $SP.00) at a big price given how dynamic he was when winning down the straight here in the Standish. He then went to the JRA Plate at Rosehill when back in a slowly run race and was never a factor. Back to the straight track, right down in the weights, he will run a cheeky race.

1 Augustus (Bet Now:  $SP.00) looks the winner if he’s here to play. High class animal that makes his Aussie debut for Ciaron Maher, with eyes towards the Australian Cup. He has looked very good in trial/jumpout work and I think 2000m at Flemington looks so ideal for him. If he’s here to play, he has lengths on them.

3 Magnaspin (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a beauty for the Corstens/Larkin camp. He was there to be beaten at Caulfield last time but he found under pressure and was strong to the line in winning. 2000m is his sweet spot, he’ll settle handy and just keep on fighting.

Loved the return of 2 Whisky On The Hill (Bet Now:  $SP.00) in the Carlyon. He got a fair way out of his ground, against the pattern, but did like the way he closed his race off in defeat behind Light Infantry Man. Fitter, 2000m, can settle closer and be dangerous late.
