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.
