Selections:
2. Extreme Virtue - $3.50
1. Duvach - $4.50
5. Fayetta - $5.50

BEST BET - Extreme Virtue - $3.50
Winning last time out will do Extreme Virtue the world of good ahead of this one and it looks to be the one to beat. The going and the distance should suit and whilst there are a few potential challengers, smart money looks to be on Extreme Virtue here.

THE DANGER - Duvach - $4.50
Similarly, Kiwi flyer Duvach has been hugely impressive of late, winning on its first outing of the season and it will be in the hunt in this one. It will take a very good run to win in this company but Duvach looks to be more than capable of being in the mix.

VALUE BET - Fayetta - $5.50
Consistency is part of the fabric of Fayetta and it is a horse that always takes some beating. This is a step up in calibre but Fayetta has the capability to be firmly in contention in this one.

Selections:
11. Reserve Bank - $2.15
4. Honor Galore - $3.90
6. Mr Assertive - $9.00

BEST BET - Reserve Bank - $2.15
The Price clan have high hopes for Reserve Bank, a seriously good horse, who looked the full part when winning on debut. A rest ahead of this one is the question mark but if it hits its stride, it will take some stopping over 1000m.

THE DANGER - Honor Galore - $3.90
Blake Shinn jumps on board Honor Galore here, a seriously exciting horse who hasn't always been able to translate promising positions into wins but it could be in the hunt over this distance.

VALUE BET - Mr Assertive - $9.00
There are a host of horses who could challenge the top two in the market here but Mr Assertive is perhaps the pick of the bunch. It is a horse with bags of pace and should it find a clean run, it could be in the hunt.

Selections:
1. Pounding - $3.90
5. Shaiyhar - $4.50
10. Shahzad - $12.00

BEST BET - Pounding - $3.90
Perennial winner at this level Pounding will be looking to bag another scalp here. It has been trending in the right direction of late and whilst this is in esteemed company, Pounding is the one to catch.

THE DANGER - Shaiyhar - $4.50
Irish flyer Shaiyhar hasn't been seen on the track for a short while and there is a feeling that it could be ready to return with a bang here. Competition is stiff but Shaiyhar is a good horse, who should relish the challenge.

VALUE BET - Shahzad - $12.00
French horse Shahad is an enigmatic type, who also has been off the track for a while and in a race as open as this, could well upset the form books and put in a stellar performance for backers.
