★ Top pick2nd
4Shahaameh
Her Warwick Farm third was a strong maiden run, and her Rosehill fifth came after losing ground at the start. Bullock gives her an excellent booking, and the drop in distance and a midfield draw look ideal.

2nd pick3rd
3Mumbai Maharani
A solid and reliable type who sits close to the speed, and her trial second suggests she is fit. She is a genuine place chance in a modest field. However, she has had four chances and has yet to win, and she tends to run on one-paced. She is respectable but too short to rate a standout win chance.

1Llantarnam
With no confirmed leader in the race she could cross and control it, even from the wide gate.
Value pickWon
5In Her Name
Her debut was compromised by a bump at the start, and she still ran home solidly. She has the best early speed in this field and should sit close to the pace from the wide gate.

2Rain Delay
He ran a strong second first-up in a good city maiden and has the early speed to lead a field short of pace.
2nd pick6th
3Landing Gear
Landing Gear ran a good second over this exact trip on a Good track last start, finishing strongly from midfield. Stable form is solid and he is in line to improve second-up.
3rd pick7th
7Arthur Park
Arthur Park ran a solid third at Newcastle last start and was held up in the straight, so he has more to offer. Blinkers and a good barrier are positives, along with a jockey in excellent form. He is a genuine place chance and the map should give him a sound run.
Value pick4th

Winner4. C'mon FlyerSP $6.50
★ Top pick6th
2Lensman
Lensman is the form horse coming into a much weaker race. He was beaten under two lengths in an Open Hcp at Port Macquarie two starts ago and then covered ground throughout in the Taree Gold Cup. From barrier two he looks the one to lead in a race with no obvious other front-runner, and at Newcastle horses on the pace have a clear edge over the get-back types. The only query is the step to 1900m for the first time, but his recent mile runs suggest he will see it out.
2nd pick5th
1Fioprospero
3rd pickWon
4C'mon Flyer
C'mon Flyer is the one runner who has already won at Newcastle over this exact trip, and he did it in the manner of a horse who handles the sweeping turns. From barrier three he can sit fourth or fifth and avoid the trouble that has cost him recently.
Value pickScratched
5Kosuke
He is the only other runner in the field, besides C'mon Flyer, who has actually won over this track and trip, and he comes off an encouraging closing third over 2000m at Bathurst. With the inside gate and early speed in a race where the lead is wide open, he can lob into a soft position behind or alongside the leader.

Winner5. ImeldaSP $1.70
★ Top pick2nd
1Italian Spirit
The most likely winner on form. Italian Spirit leads comfortably in a moderately run race and has been running to a winning standard in recent starts. The step from maiden to Class 1 with top weight and an extra 200m is a real query, but the map and fitness give it the best overall chance.
2nd pickWon
5Imelda
She has finished off strongly in both runs and the stable is in great order. The query is the class jump and a moderate tempo that doesn't suit a back-marker.
3rd pick4th
7Legaselli
Her last start over 2000m was well below that and is easily forgiven as the trip was too far.
Value pick3rd
4Perini Miss
Perini Miss won well at Newcastle last start, leading and running home strongly in a very good time. She will be handy again and any similar effort makes her competitive in a race lacking depth.

3Doralee
Doralee has been narrowly beaten in a string of maiden and super maiden races and ran a strong second here at 900m last start despite being wide and hampered. Barrier 2 and a handy position in a moderate-tempo race suit, and Aaron Bullock is in sparkling form. She has been a perennial runner-up, but on form she is the most proven runner in a field of mostly unexposed types.

7Bundy Belle
Bundy Belle won both of her barrier trials over 900m and is from the stable of Bjorn Baker, who has a superb record at Newcastle. She lacks race experience and the rider is not yet confirmed, but the stable profile marks her as a genuine winning chance.
Value pick4th
5Funky Fun
Funky Fun won her last barrier trial and is with an in-form stable and a jockey who has already won on this trainer's horses. As a debutant with a good profile she looks the best value in a race of unexposed runners.

★ Top pick6th
5Precious Girl
She won this class over this course and distance two weeks ago, leading all the way, and rates as the only genuine front-runner. A moderate tempo should suit her, and she gets a light weight. The main risk is Potomac River applying early pressure, but she is the most reliable on current form.
2nd pick2nd
4Potomac River
She has early speed and a first-up win. The wide draw means she may have to work to lead or sit outside Precious Girl, and fitness off a long break is unproven against older mares, which keeps her second.
3rd pickWon
6She's Assort
A consistent mare who ran on strongly to finish third here at this grade and distance. She should be handy behind the speed and the stable and jockey are in good form. She has only one win, and a long break plus the gear change are small question marks, but she can fit in the finish of the placings.
Value pick4th
2Ascot Green
A lightly raced mare with two wins from four, and her Kembla Grange win was among the best efforts in the field. She is dropping in class, has trialled well and has a jockey with a strong Newcastle record.

★ Top pick7th
6Jacenza
Jacenza should get an uncontested lead and has won over this trip at Newcastle on a similar surface. Moderate tempo suits a leader, and he drops from Showcase Open company. The risk is that he tends to weaken late when a challenger arrives, and he has a new jockey. A solid place chance with a genuine win claim.
2nd pick2nd
8Unreachable
Unreachable ran on from last to be beaten a short margin at Newcastle on her last start and gets the booking of a hot jockey from a good gate.

1Poisen Point
Poisen Point is the class runner in this field. She has won against Open and Highway company and now drops into a Bench. 68, second up from a spell. Her Good-ground record is strong and she has won over 1500m. The map says she will be back, but her last three good runs were from midfield or better.
Value pick3rd
9Via Flaminia
Via Flaminia has been consistent in recent runs, including a second over 1500m last start. She is a young mare with room to improve and the Lees stable does well at Newcastle. A reasonable each-way chance.

8Howzat Harry
Howzat Harry has been a different horse this preparation, going down by half a length at Newcastle first-up before breaking through over 1250m here last time with easily the best performance of anything in this race. He maps to settle fourth or fifth from gate four and should be launching at the right time.
2nd pick2nd
2Strawberry Impact
He was competitive in much stronger races last preparation, including a close third over 1400m at Kembla, and a repeat of that would have him in the finish. But he has won just once in 17 and resumes over a trip short of his best with 60.5kg.
999th pickScratched
14Prince De Vega
Prince De Vega has been around the mark all preparation with three minor placings from four runs, including a close third in stronger company at Coffs Harbour. He has the speed to cross and lead, and on-pace runners clearly hold the edge at Newcastle. The knock is the wide draw, which forces him to work early, and a poor winning strike rate.
Value pick6th
4Am I Dreaming
Am I Dreaming is the value runner. A Group 1-performed three-year-old, he drops from the Champagne Stakes and Sires' Produce to a provincial Class 1 and gets in light on 58.5kg. His only win came over 1300m at Hawkesbury when he came from off the pace and let down strongly, and he was badly held up in the Fernhill. The concern is that he will settle near last first-up, and coming from that far back at Newcastle is difficult.
