BEST BET
BLONDEAU (R2, No.1 — $2.30)
Chased home top-liners Farnan and Tagaloa in Group 2 Todman Stakes (1200m). Sharpened for this with recent Flemington jumpout. The one to beat.

NEXT BEST
TURNCOAT (R3, No.9 — $3.80)
Bumped into a talented pair here last time when chased doggedly off a tough run. Ben Melham takes over this time.
FABALOT (R4, No.2 — $2.30)
Lightly raced and well suited by the rise to 2230m. Has master trainer-jockey combination. Hard to toss.
ZOUPER STAR (R6, No.12 — $7.50)
Not beaten far by Mystery Shot at Ballarat two starts back and then no luck when held up at Cranbourne. Can improve sharply.
