Analysis
This looks unlikely to be a strong-speed race. CYCLOTRON has been consistent, finishing in the placings in both starts and looks well-suited here. PRIME PATTERN ran on strongly last start at Sandown Lakeside and is drawn perfectly, could challenge. MELBOURNE BOY makes his debut from a strong stable, a place chance. HARRY MET SALLY broke his maiden at Ballarat last start and comes from a capable stable, also a strong place hope.

Analysis
CARDAMOM resumes after a 16-week spell and has shown early promise, looks well-placed. JEWEL OF HEAVEN impressed last start at Cranbourne and could be an outside threat. CARRIEDO, a recent winner at Geelong, is for the exotics. SNAKEINTHEGRASS, winner at Stony Creek and placed once this campaign, also for wider exotics.

Analysis
RASP comes off a first-up win at Pakenham and is in a winning chance for Gavin Bedggood. ACTA NON VERBA typically runs well second-up and has each-way claims despite fading last start at Geelong. BOLD STRIKE, having failed as a favourite last start, gets blinkers for the first time and could surprise. SPARKLE LINK resumes after 10 weeks, having trialled well and could threaten.

Analysis
Top two selections hard to split. SATIRICALLY has been consistent early and from a strong stable, a genuine contender. OBVIOUS has placed in both metro starts this campaign and was narrowly beaten last start at Sandown Lakeside, deserves consideration. WETUMPKA has won at Sale and placed twice this prep, each-way claims. LET IT BEEL comes off a maiden win at Cranbourne, shouldn’t be underestimated.

Analysis
VANGOGH BANKCHEQUE has had an impressive start to career, blinkers off first time, looks a major contender. SKETCH resumes after 15 weeks and a trial win, can be dangerous. AUXILIARY had a strong previous prep with two wins from four starts and is suited to this distance. AZZACOOL has won last two starts at Pakenham and Seymour, each-way hope.

Analysis
HELLO ROMEO should lead easily from a favorable draw and a strong stable, looks a major contender. BALASTIER first-up after 21 weeks has the speed to overcome a wide draw. YOU’RE TWO VAIN resumes after 17 weeks, has trialled well, in with a chance. CANNYWORTH narrowly missed last start at Cranbourne, the real danger.

Analysis
Tough to separate the top two. LATHLAIN won first-up this prep and looks suited to city level, genuine contender. GLENFINNAN comes off a short three-day back-up and was well beaten at Ballarat, still worth considering. LEGIO TEN has two placings from five metro runs this prep and should find this easier, the key danger. FLYING FIZZ usually strong second-up, drawn rails, don’t ignore.

Analysis
ETERNAL comes off a win at Caulfield Heath and from a strong stable, very hard to beat. CHERISH ME returns from 24 weeks and blinkers off for first time, looks dangerous. BLUE HAWAIIAN has won at Pakenham and been placed in all other starts this campaign, still a chance. LOVELYCUT resumes after 25 weeks and won last at Seymour, sneaky chance.
