Gilded Water made a huge impression in his first three Australian starts and he can now progress towards a Cups campaign with a first up win here. The gelding resumes at 1800m but he was a first up winner at 2000m so don’t expect fitness to be an issue. There is a clear class edge and while he has drawn wide, Mark Zahra has been booked to give him every chance.
Recommended Price: $2.80
Confidence Level: 4/5

Still not sure how Too Darn Discreet missed the photo here last time out but it was still a huge performance by the mare running against a strong on speed bias. A brilliant winner at Flemington prior, she looks very well placed against this field with 54Kg and can make amends.
Recommended Price: $4.20
Confidence Level: 4/5
There’s a fair argument to be made that Vinrock was the best two year old in Australia last season and the unbeaten colt resumes here to make his claims as a three year old. The Group 1 Sires Produce winner has been trialling up very well for this and draws to get the run of the race. With an unbeaten record to preserve, expect him to be ready to go first up.
Recommended Price: $4.00

Zarastro comes off a career best second placing in the G1 Kingsford Smith and with that race only being in June, his relative level of race fitness is a real positive. Another positive is the set weights and penalties conditions here which mean that despite being the second highest rated runner, he carries only 57Kg. Has plenty of early speed so can lead and take all the catching.
Recommended Price: $3.20
Confidence Level: 4/5
There is a strong argument to be made that Fangirl is the second best horse in the country and she flies fresh and over 1400m, conditions which she will have here in the Memsie Stakes. She doesn’t want it too wet, but the weather now suggests it won’t be. The pace should be genuine and she has an outstanding turn of foot.
Recommended Price: $4.00
Confidence Level: 4/5
