Saraya brings the strongest recent form into this race with placings in her last two starts. The addition of a tongue tie for the first time could provide further improvement.
Supido's Littleone brings consistent form to this race with a strong record at Mildura (3: 0-1-1). While yet to win from 23 starts, she has been placed 6 times and knows this track well. Chelsea Taylor retains the ride and should give her every chance from a good draw.
Cynane represents value coming off a significant class drop from previous Listed race exposure. The Gary & Dean Alexander-trained filly has been improving with a 3rd and 5th in her last two starts.

Paltinian brings the strongest form credentials to this race with three seconds and a third from eight career starts. His recent form is solid with a fifth last start at Sandown-Hillside and consistent placings before that. Well drawn in barrier 3 and with Brad Rawiller aboard, he should get an ideal run in midfield. The step up to 2000m is the query, but his racing pattern suggests he'll handle it.
Youbeeforty comes into this race off a strong second placing at Strathalbyn over 1600m. He has experience at this distance and should appreciate the step up to 2000m based on his racing pattern. The significant class drop is a major positive, and with Liam Riordan aboard, he should get a good midfield position despite the wider draw. His consistency makes him a genuine place chance.
Mighty Mac is still finding his feet with just four career starts to date. His recent form is modest but the quick backup suggests connections believe he's ready to improve. Likely to push forward from the wide gate to utilize his early speed, which could be advantageous given the track bias. The step up to 2000m is a significant query, but if he can dictate terms up front, he could prove hard to run down.
The gear change to visors (removing blinkers) could be the key to improvement. Her midfield running style should suit the likely race tempo, and from barrier 5, jockey Chelsea Taylor should be able to position her ideally.

The addition of blinkers first time should sharpen his focus, and barrier 2 is ideal at Mildura over 1200m. This lightly-raced I Am Invincible gelding has shown ability in metropolitan company and should appreciate the class drop to country maiden level.
Zeamaize brings rock-solid consistency with three consecutive second placings, including one at this track. His place strike rate of 75% is impressive, and he should get a good run from barrier 5. Steven Vella maintains the ride, having been aboard for his recent placings. While he's yet to break through for a win, his consistency makes him a strong place prospect.
Of The View returns from a spell with a strong place record of 2 seconds and 1 third from 4 starts. She has a good first-up record and draws favorably in barrier 3. The Patrick & Michelle Payne-trained mare handles good tracks well and gets the services of Neil Farley.
She's second-up from a spell where she has a record of 0-0-1 from 2 starts, suggesting improvement.

Melbourne Cup Day In Mildura Mdn Plate
Second-up from a spell with a strong record in this pattern, he's drawn perfectly in barrier 5 for this 1000m start at Mildura. The Patrick & Michelle Payne-trained gelding has shown steady improvement and looks ready to break through.
Moral Turpitude returns from a spell with consistent form credentials including a 3rd placing last preparation. The wide barrier is a concern at Mildura, but the addition of a tongue tie could help improve performance. Represents solid place value.
Imacreedytwo returns from a spell with the addition of blinkers which should sharpen him up. The barrier is slightly disadvantageous but his on-pace style should mitigate this. Represents each-way value.
Bolshoi Babe showed promise on debut with a 3rd placing and gets in with a light weight of 55kg. The 3yo filly has significant upside being so lightly raced and draws well in barrier 6.

Mildura Gateway (Bm62)
Marilyn's Edge brings the strongest recent form into this race with a win just 9 days ago at Kilmore. While barrier 7 isn't ideal with the inside bias, her tactical speed should allow her to overcome this. The 4YO mare has shown consistency with a 50% place rate and performs well on Good tracks.
Demojo resumes from a spell with a strong first-up record and draws perfectly in barrier 2 to take advantage of the inside bias. While carrying top weight and rising in class are concerns, his 33% win rate and proven ability at the distance are positives. Expect him to be right in the finish.
The Wayfarer comes into this race in good form, winning last start at Jerilderie over the same distance just 11 days ago. While barrier 9 is a concern with the inside bias, his experience at both the distance and track (with 2 placings from 5 starts at Mildura) are significant positives. He's proven himself consistent with a 27% place rate and performs well on Good tracks, making him a solid each-way proposition.
Second-up today with a solid second-up record, she carries just 54kg from a good barrier 4 draw. Her lightweight and good barrier position should allow her to utilize her early speed.

Ausloans Mildura (Bm56)
The Wizard King brings the strongest credentials with a perfect record at Mildura over this distance (2: 1-1-0) and consistent recent form including a close 2nd at Mornington. The inside barrier is ideal at this track and distance, and he's proven he can carry weight effectively. While carrying 63kg is challenging, he's well-placed dropping in class and has the tactical speed to utilize barrier 1.
While first-up from a spell, she's shown ability fresh and has the tactical speed to overcome barrier 10. The Payne stable knows how to prepare horses, and this mare has significant upside as a lightly-raced 4yo. The class rise is the main query, but her raw ability suggests she can measure up.
Brad Rawiller sticks with him which is a positive sign. The wide barrier is a concern, but he has shown tactical speed previously.
Second-up from a spell, he should improve on his last start effort and has a good record on good tracks (5: 2-0-0). The inside barrier is advantageous at Mildura, and he's a proven distance winner.

Mildura Motor Holdings (Bm56)
Brullen brings the strongest credentials with a perfect record at track and distance, dropping from higher class races. His recent form is rock solid with a close 2nd last start at Mornington carrying 59.5kg. The weight is a concern but class should prevail.
Bonnaroo is second-up from a spell where she has an excellent record of 4:2-1-0. Her distance record is impressive (6:2-1-1) and she's dropping in class from her last start 5th at Ballarat in BM62 grade. Represents the main danger to the top selection.
Sakasu brings solid recent form with consecutive 2nd placings at Mildura and Swan Hill. Has a good record at the track (3:0-1-0) and gets an ideal draw in barrier 4 to take advantage of the inside bias. The 32-day freshen-up is the main query, but should be ready to fire third-up.
Jaz Tycoon represents excellent value coming off a close 2nd in Open company at Jerilderie. The significant class drop to BM56 is a major positive, and he draws perfectly in barrier 2 to take advantage of the inside bias at Mildura.
