BEST BET

REVELARE (R2 No.2): Progressive stayer Revelare has won his past four including at the track and distance last start. He found himself in an awkward position but found a way to win with his superior acceleration.

NEXT BEST

RESERVE BANK (R9 No.7): Reserve Bank is unbeaten first-up and has looked good in his jumpouts for his return. Last prep he just missed in the Group 2 Danehill Stakes down the Flemington straight, and his only poor run was on a heavy track at Caulfield.

VALUE BET

NAME DROPPER (R6 No.5): Name Dropper has won both starts this prep at the 1400m, and his record at the distance is four wins and a second from five starts. He’ll roll forward from the wide barrier, and he showed last start he can absorb a fast pace.

THE JOCKEY

CRAIG WILLIAMS

NOSTRA BELLA (R1 No.7 – $71), SHINY NEW DEEL (R2 No.16 – $8), SHE’S GOT PIZZAZZ (R3 No.7 – $3.40), TOP CALIBRE (R4 No.10 – $4.80), MADRINA (R5 No.6 – $14), PLYMOUTH (R8 No.15 – $19), EL MORZILLO (R9 No.13 – $6.50), EUPHORIC (R10 No.9 – $5.50).
