1 | 0X0090 | | | Pegasus Sunrise | 1 | Ft | Dexter Dunn | Serial offender who has never even trialled from the mobile. Too risky for us. |
2 | 536054 | | | Pegasus Hanover | 2 | Ft | Rory McIlwrick | Placed twice from mobile at Winton, including this day last year. Prominent. |
3 | 0 | | | Our Emirate | 3 | Ft | Blair Orange | Qualified solo from mobile at this track some 4sec under time. Prefer others. |
4 | 005370 | | | Miss Bamboocha | 4 | Ft | Alex Milne | Speedy but sketchy mare who ran 4th in this race last season. Don't overlook. |
5 | 957 | | | South Park | 5 | Ft | Peter Hunter | Tackled Luby Lou and other gun fillies in recent Oaks. Can figure with manners. |
6 | 000680 | | | Castleton Tui | 6 | Ft | Josh Kennett(J) | Promises more than she delivers. Smart on occasion in mobile trials. For odds. |
7 | 970365 | | | Our Budd | 7 | Ft | Nathan Williamson | Fair in stronger fields. Past mile winner here. Go forward type who rates best. |

1 | 8 | | | Heartbreaker | 1 | Ft | | |
2 | 80 | | | Kath's Finale | 2 | Ft | Allan Beck | Gate speed in recent workout before fading to 4th behind Thatswhatisaid. F4s. |
3 | 25P23X | | | Thatswhatisaid | 3 | Ft | Kirk Larsen | Competitive against smart types. Beat Dangerous in workout. Clear top pick. |
4 | 079090 | | | Sherwood Ashlyn | 4 | Ft | | |
5 | | | | Rock Bottom | 5 | Ft | Blair Orange | Nippy breed and consistent preps. 2nd to Thatswhatisaid in trial here. Place. |
6 | 657424 | | | Broadway Banner | 6 | Ft | Hamish Hunter | Willing attitude and solid form but has had trips to suit. Leaning to others. |
7 | 07X230 | | | L J's Jet | 7 | Ft | Sheree Tomlinson(J) | Hit sulky discs last weekend. Also pulled up with high respiratory rate. Swerve. |
8 | 970X99 | | | Allie | 8 | Ft | Earl Swain | Struggler saddled with outside of the front row. Tough day at the office looms. |
---------------------------- Second Line ---------------------------- |
9 | 8P | | | Me And My Excuses | 9 | Ft | Dexter Dunn | Foiled by the crossing on grass track March 3. Blair Orange chooses stablemate. |
10 | 2 | | | Dangerous | 10 | Ft | Nathan Williamson | Looked winner-in-waiting when rolling home for close 2nd on debut. Draw okay. |
11 | 603 | | | Edie Jaccka | 11 | Ft | Brent Barclay | Nice 3rd after copping backwash last weekend. Keep onside for your First 4s. |
12 | 90 | | | Gotta Be Downtown | 12 | Ft | Tyler Dewe(J) | Work-in-progress contained in both her starts. Tricky alley. Not on our ticket. |
13 | 070800 | | | Iechyd Da | 13 | Ft | | |
14 | 900008 | | | Dismara | 14 | Ft | Rory McIlwrick | Does have a bit of speed but confidence is at a low ebb. Can't make a case. |
15 | 244260 | | | Shindal | U1 | Ft | Steve Lock | Unplaced in recent trial won by Thatswhatisaid. Pecking order is the same. |

1 | 54 | | | Alfie Romeo | 1 | Ft | Allan Beck | Workout winner March 16. Stable continues to score goals with limited numbers. |
2 | 079090 | | | Sherwood Ashlyn | 2 | Ft | Rory McIlwrick | Marble Fairy has really done a number on her so draw overdue. Still can't have. |
3 | 000000 | | | Fleur Galleon | 3 | Ft | Steve Lock | Dreadful form and her inside alley won't do anything to change the outcome. |
4 | | | | Flogging Molly | 4 | Ft | | |
5 | 466265 | | | Fun Sponge | 5 | Ft | Dexter Dunn | Showing enough to suggest a maiden win is within reach. Trifectas and First 4s. |
6 | 9 | | | Myrcella | 6 | Ft | | |
7 | | | | Olive Cook | 7 | Ft | Jonny Cox | 2nd to the smart Woodlea Ragnar in spring qualifier. Still green. Cheeky bid. |

---------------------------- Second Line ---------------------------- |
9 | 88X60 | | | Articulate | 9 | Ft | Bernie Rae | Ran 2nd in moderate workout last Sunday. Prepared to lay despite cosy draw. |

12 | 2670 | | | Tact Maggie | 12 | Ft | Sheree Tomlinson(J) | Backing Maggie is fast becoming a pain we could do without. Needs confidence. |
13 | 23362 | | | Thisexcusebetterbeit | 13 | Ft | Blair Orange | Fought gamely after midrace move to lead at Wyndham. Won't die wondering. |
14 | 374659 | | | Excellent | 14 | Ft | Nathan Williamson | Course-distance in the groove but has burnt us more than once. Want fair odds. |

1 | 600040 | | | Scarlett Lane | 1 | Ft | Nathan Williamson | Seasoned mare who brings a win and a placing from 3 mobile starts. Crumbs. |
2 | 60X19X | | | Starcola | 2 | Ft | Blair Orange | Off the scene for 27 months. Battling workout last Dec only recent prep. No. |
3 | X43476 | | | Lynette The Vet | 3 | Ft | Gordon Lee | Reasonable 6th after early mistake at Wyndham. Mobile 3rd to War Admiral. |
4 | 3170X0 | | | Dipendra | 4 | Ft | Shane Walkinshaw | Trotted roughly then broke when he resumed. Going well at workouts prior. |
5 | 201607 | | | Grace O'Malley | 5 | Ft | Peter Hunter | Freewheeling mare who will attempt to go coast-to-coast. Dangerous in front. |
6 | 752354 | | | She's Allthe Craze | 6 | Ft | Brent Barclay | Bubbling under but thought she'd have won another by now. Blinds on. EW. |
7 | 09780X | | | Bourbon And Dry | U1 | Ft | Rory McIlwrick | Almost as big a thinker as Stephen Hawking. Moderate preps. Far too moody. |
8 | 807000 | | | Crusher Collins | U2 | Ft | Dexter Dunn | Panelled them in mobile sprint at NY but on the slide since then. Risky bet. |
9 | 424183 | | | Nottingham K Two | U3 | Ft | Gary McEwan | Improved 6yo but form is arguably a little flattering in this line-up. First 4s. |
10 | 008079 | | | I've Got This | U4 | Ft | Daniel Reardon | Mistakes continue to pepper his form. Past winner here. Others more reliable. |

2 | 793257 | | | My Georgie Boy | 2 | Ft | Peter Hunter | Won at this meeting last year. Unlucky Wyndham 7th put writing on the wall. |
3 | 990876 | | | Man I'm Good | 3 | Ft | Alister Kyle | Chopped down after looping to lead in recent workout here. Query leg speed. |
4 | 602420 | | | Canardly Remember | 4 | Ft | Nathan Williamson | Briefly humped wide and gave in after working to parked last time. Better draw. |
5 | 649000 | | | Pegasus Merrily | 5 | Ft | Matt Anderson(J) | Likes the bigger circuits but didn't show enough in new colours last week. Held. |
6 | 220096 | | | Cast A Shadow | 6 | Ft | Shane Walkinshaw | More like old self when less than 2L from Lorretta Franco. Respect his A-game. |
7 | 450662 | | | Misty Memory | 7 | Ft | Hamish Hunter | Sustained bid to push the winner close at Wyndham. Hard one to follow. Wary. |
8 | 391900 | | | Honour Scroll | 8 | Ft | Dexter Dunn | Left posted and didn't stick March 17. Black book maiden win here. Draw hurts. |
---------------------------- Second Line ---------------------------- |
9 | X80563 | | | Magnetic Watch | 9 | Ft | Blair Orange | Orange extracted improvement for 3rd. Not push-button sprinter. Dicey draw? |
