King Zephyr is a horse that appreciates a big track and a good speed and he will get those conditions to suit here. Three runs this time in have yielded one win at Sandown, and two runs where he clearly didn’t appreciate the track/tempo at Moonee Valley and Caulfield. Jordan Childs will sit him back of midfield here and run over the top of them.
Recommended Price: $2.50
Confidence Level: 5/5

Chris Waller won this race last year with Aeliana and he brings a filly here with an identical formline, with Panova having on the Reg Allen Quality at Randwick wlast time out. She came from well back there so getting out to a mile on the big track at Flemington in a race that appears to have plenty of speed looks a good formula.
Recommended Price: $4.20
Confidence Level: 3.5/5
Bjorn Baker has a great record when bringing horses to Melbourne and he has another likely candidate here in Caballus. He was a real eye catcher first up in Sydney, getting a long way back before flying home late in the weight for age Sydney Stakes. He looks well suited here back to handicap conditions.
Recommended Price: $3.50
Confidence Level: 4/5
Beiwacht didn’t just win the Golden Rose last start, he obliterated the opposition and broke the track record in the process. Chris Waller has a phenomenal record in this race having won it six times so the fact he has freshened him for this, rather than tackle the Guineas, suggests he is the right candidate. He beat home the Guineas winner and Everest runner up in the Rose, and he can beat what is admittedly a very good field here.
Recommended Price: $3.60
Confidence Level: 4/5
Observer looked to have the Derby at his mercy already but once he drew barrier four, he had one hoof on the trophy. He was an easy, eased down winner of the Vase last start having run very well in the Guineas. Being by Ghaiyyath he is bred to relish the trip and he simply looks a class above.
Recommended Price: $2.00
Confidence Level: 4.5/5
The Empire Rose has a habit of throwing up a big priced winner so happy to have something on Damask Rose and Benagil. Damask Rose has been crying out for a big track and a fast pace, while Benagil was very good first up and should have probably two more Group 1s to her credit (due to awful rides). Willo should give her every chance from barrier four.
Recommended Price: $8.00/$11
Confidence Level: 3/5
