Rarely fails this track & trip & is a danger. Commanding Hope has 2nd best recent speed. Racing impressively & deserves respect.

Weekend Hussler is a champion & will have derived lots of benefit from first up run. Always the one to beat. Scenic Blast has best recent speed from impressive return to Melbourne. Ready to resume his battle of last season with Weekend Hussler & he will prove a danger again. Maldivian resumed with brilliant effort. May be even better next start - but never one to underestimate. Alamosa was very impressive at Australian debut. Would not have to improve much to make things very interesting. Tuesday Joy is a very accomplished mare. Respect.

Fabric Of Dreams is a lightly raced horse with an improving speed profile who goes very well fresh. Not an overly strong race & is a big danger.

Miss Andretti is champion sprinter. Don’t really expect her to start on the (likely) wet track first up. Her record is outstanding and she is undefeated at 2 starts over the MV 1000 metres (in fact she is undefeated at MV and undefeated over 1000m). The one to beat (if she starts). Kaphero has best recent speed. Has been bombproof around the MV 1000 metres and is a specialist at the trip. His best recent performance has been on a slow track at MV & likely to get same conditions here. Hard to beat. Lucky Secret resumes off a long break but has a strong speed profile & liking for this track & trip. Respect. Very good chances to Orange County, Dr Nipandtuck & Here De Angels.

Benatar has a strong speed profile & just went under first up. Goes better 2nd up & a big danger. Lucky Diva has 2nd best recent speed. Performing brilliantly in stronger races but pays the price of consistency with the heavy impost of top-weight. Tons of ability & still likely to feature in the finish.

Still carries no weight after claim & is the one to beat. Conquering has 2nd best recent speed from strong on-pace performance at Flemington when a close 3rd to Roslotta. Much fitter than most of his rivals & loves wet tracks. Big danger again. Packing Success has 3rd best recent speed. Lots of ability but not much luck in running on several occasions. Respect.

Did not come up last campaign, but once there was money for her today her best speed profile made her an attractive betting proposition. If you have access to the speedfigures you will have backed (as I did) Kaphero, Conquering & Guild and had a successful day. Once again a feature race was won by the horse (Kaphero)

Cholula has best recent speed. Step up in distance suits & getting fitter with each start. Has tons of ability. The only doubt would be a very wet track - otherwise he is the one to beat. Bolle has 2nd best recent speed & finding some impressive speedform. No problems for him on wet tracks &those conditions may bring him into contention against Cholula. Magnetic is talented & strong at distance & wet conditions. Respect. One Way Or Another has lots of talent and appeals as a strong prospect.

Viallico has best speed profile. Huge effort on debut when treated rivals with contempt. May have surprised stable on that occasion as there was no support. Then put away for the Spring. If he runs anywhere near his first start he would win again. Exceedingly Good has strong speed profile. Tons of potential. Danger. Reaan similarly has impressive juvenile performances (winner of Blue Diamond). Usually a marked improvement in speedfigures in their 3 year old year. Very strong chance. Buckets has 2nd best recent speed. Has the advantage of recent racing & has improved his speedfigures with racing. One to include for exotics.

Sugar Babe , Viennese, Hips Don’t Lie and Burgeis are well performed fillies through their 2 year old year.

Afterburn has 2nd best recent speed. Most likely will clear field to lead & take a lot of catching again. Stellamac has best speed profile. Very good effort fresh & must be respected.

Weekend Hussler has best speed profile. He is a champion and although taking a new path to staying distances (hence first up over 1400m) - and under an injury cloud - I would still be surprised to see him beaten. Light Fantastic appeals as the danger. Yet to be beaten & no telling how much speed improvement he will show in this new campaign. Maldivian has 2nd best speed profile. He is the other high profile horse who is capable of great feats. Would not pay to underestimate. Jungle Ruler has best recent speed & Live In Vain 2nd best recent. They both love wet ground but would be hard to envisage them gaining too big a break over Weekend Hussler and pinching the race. Some quality horses engaged & none more interesting than Alexander Of Hales. Not sure what to expect but he rates highly on comparative speedfigures and performances.

1 Bird Dancer
2 Joontoo Gemini scr
3  Magneto
4 Corragio
5 One Way Or Another /Papa

Bird Dancer has best recent speed & speed profile. Stable decided not to retire him & keep going after finally breaking through last start. He is actually going very well & after claim & with good barrier he will settle back & charge home. With a soft run (likely from barrier) he should get the trip. Joontoo Gemini has 2nd best recent speed. Tough mare who may be better suited by a bit more ground (dropping from a win at 2400m last start) but will get up on speed & be hard to pass. Magneto has 3rd best recent speed. Classy at his best & he will play a part in the finish. Corragio should’ve won last start. One Way Or Another lots of talent & Papa is improving.

1 Two Hills
2 Chilean Miss
3  Buckets
4 Woppitt
5 Holy Request / Happy Genes

Two Hills has best recent speed. Is the fit horse in a race full of horses with potential. Should prove hard to beat, but a host of chances. Chilean Miss has lots of ability and quite a lot of press attention. A danger. Many good chances including Buckets (2nd best recent speed), Woppitt, Holy Request & Happy Genes.

1 Ida Doris
2 Hi On Love
3  Stratus Faction
4 Acceleration
5 Kinka Rhode / Potomac

Ida Doris has best speed profile. Went well when resuming (no luck) and goes well 2nd up. Well handicapped (on value of her speedfigures) and looks the one to beat. Hi On Love has best recent speed. Back to mares company after beating Bolle at her last start. Goes up in weight & freshened up. The obvious danger. Stratus Faction has 2nd best recent speed. A real wet-tracker who would appreciate any rain.

1 Juggle The Books
2 Live In Vain
3  Royal Asscher
4 Monahan Tweed
5 Marwin Gold

Juggle The Books has best recent speed. Good run last start against very promising horse (who won again). Should get cover just behind (expected hectic) speed & prove hard to hold out. The one to beat. Live In Vain has best speed profile & 2nd best recent speed. Couldn’t match strides with Tesbury Jack over 1100m last time & (no surprise) he wilted. Went okay first up & last campaign ran in Group or Listed company. Although there is lots of speed in this race it would be expected that he will go hard & try to hang on. Will make it exciting. Big danger. Royal Asscher is very talented mare. She will appreciate likely tempo & charge home late. Respect.

1 Speedymac
2 Mock
Dandy Dollar scr
4 Ma Shang
5 Red Ali / Command Prince

Speedymac has best recent speed. Beaten in two very strong speed events & deserves to break through in this. Hard to beat. Mock ran a career best speed performance last start. Having his best ever campaign - but not having much luck. The aborted jumping campaign seems to have revitalised him. Danger. Dandy Dollar has 3rd best recent speed. Young horse with lots of ability, but also very inconsistent. At his best he is a strong chance. Ma Shang another young horse - though he is a model of consistency. Can improve on his moderate speedfigures. Respect.

1 Tesbury Jack
2 Commanding Hope
3  Cargo Cult
4 Red Arrow
5 Lucky Diva

Tesbury Jack has best speed profile & 2nd best recent speed. Will lead & control race again & take a lot of catching. The one to beat (as long as track remains in dead range). Commanding Hope has best recent speed. Very promising young horse who has a fitness edge over many rivals. Can certainly surprise. Cargo Cult has 2nd best speed profile. Will be improved from unlucky first-up run & must be respected.

Gunfire Messiah has best recent speed. Good effort last start in strong speed event. Hard to beat. Dismissal has 2nd best recent speed. No luck last start & can be competitive again. Danger. Snort has 3rd best recent speed. Can unleash a big finishing burst & must be respected. Very good chances to Jungle Ruler & Barabba Road in a very wide open race.

Millie Rose has 2nd best recent speed. Model of consistency & deserves a win. Hard to beat. Whitehaven Girl has 2nd best recent speed. Going well before last start failure at WFA. Danger. Vankedisi has 3rd best recent speed. Lots of pace & will take catching again. Respect. Good chances to White Diamonds & Brazen Hussey.
