BEST BETS
R3 n7 CHERRY ROSE Positive on map to be 3rd behind leaders.3rd up off 17 days rises 2.5kg and well suited out to 1200m. Last start Doomben S6 track drew outside and sat well back 7th early before launching late in straight winning by 2.3L beating Skirt The Law. Figures here were best of meeting with the fastest L600/400m of meeting-her closing speed there was quality. Very impressive win and still well placed staying in BM78 class with 56.5kg off a great map. Soft track is ideal.
R4 n9 FIND YOUR OWN Positive early on map to lead. Off a short 56 day break and won Gold Coast trial Dec 5. His trial win there was brilliant, led under a strangle hold and won by a big margin and never really ever let go by jockey in fast time. Much improved sprinter with the blinkers off last prep, soft track okay for him and just runs and wins off fast tempos.
R8 n10 ABOUNDING MF on map and suited from there late. 2ª up off 17 days drops 2kg and suited out to 1300m (+100m). Resumed Doomben S5 off 151 days drew outside and went to 6th off a fast tempo but was far too strong late when got clear air winning impressively by 0.6L Overall figures were excellent and she had the 6th fastest L200m of the meeting. Quality mare who finished last prep with an outstanding 4th to Bella Nipotina in Group 1 Tatts Tiara with same weight as today. Clear top pick today off that against this field and proven on soft.

R3 n9 DRAGOON Positive early on map to lead ? 4th up off 24 days (no jump outs) and out to 1600m (+100m). Last start this track went forward early in a battle for the front but eased back to 3ra before winning narrowly but impressively. It was a tough win and he is a reliable horse for this class with Craig Williams riding and gets a very good map. Looks the winner.
R4 n5 FLYING FIZZ Positive early on map to trail leaders. 3rd up off 27 days out to 1500m (+150m). Last start BM70 Donald G4 led and controlled (change of tactics) on an even tempo and bolted in late winning by 3.5L when heavily backed- 2’a horse there has won well since). Figures from race were best of meeting and she had the fastest L400/200m of the day. 3ra up here and can only be fitter/better-looks the winner.
R9 n3 WARNIE Good map behind leaders here. 4th up off 14 days drops 4kg back into a BM100 from Group 3 and well suited out to 1500m. Last start Caulfield sat 3rª on a slow tempo (suited) ran 3ra beaten 0.9L by Wewal in quality figures. His run prior behind Bel Air at Flemington was excellent without any luck at all in the straight. All three runs/figures since coming to C Maher stable from Ireland have been very good and looks clear stand out in this race with only 55kg.
R10 n7 ZOU SENSATION Map favours behind speed here. 4th up off 15 days and stays at 1200m. Last start Moonee Valley G3 track sat 4th inside on a slow tempo with EPC but put them away late winning effortlessly by 2.5L in good figures. He closed off fast there with 2nd fastest L200m of meeting. Tough dry track horse who has come back this prep with crossover nose band off and is in the zone now. Harder class race today but gets map favours and clearly the horse to beat.

R1 n9 ZOUBABY Leads inside on map. 5th up off 37 days and out to 1200m (+100m). Last start in Flemington sat 2’a in a run on race when 5th to Amelita beaten 1.4L-she was clearly best of on speed runners in this race. Run prior at Moonee Valley was very good when 21d behind Certain Rise beaten 0.8L. Decent 3YO filly against the older horses here but maps well on the speed and she was really strong late in her recent trial.
R7 n3 SEA KING Maps 3P back inside 3rd up off 39 days and impressive Gold Coast trial Dec 5. He closed off powerfully there late and Nash went up to ride him in the trial. Dominant win Bendigo Cup by 3.7L when heavily backed in meeting best figures and then given zero hope of winning the Melbourne Cup going back to last and coming widest on turn when you had to be inside on the fence. Looks a high quality stayer and clear top pick.

R7 n 7 BONJOY Drew wide resuming in a strong race and was ridden for luck inside when making her run but didn’t have the clearest path. Her L600 there was huge and she has got very good 2d up form. Keen she wins today.

R2 n1 END ASSEMBLY Is clearly the class runner who brings strong city form and gets in extremely well at the weights under the Plate conditions of this race. Will push forward and race on speed and should be too good from there.
