Media World (4) likely rolls forward from gate four. Good form around his three race starts and looks up to the task.
Trafalgar Square (2) ran on the same day and had quite a bit on his rivals. Does have to give a couple of these weight but looks to have upside.
Dark Arts (6) next best.
Verdict: Monte Veebee (5) looks tough to beat.

Victory Lane (2) didn't have much go his way in the Provincial-Midway Championships Final. Drawn much better on Saturday and will enjoy the drop in grade.
Uzziah (1) is consistent at this level and should be thereabouts again.
Danish Prince (4) also in the mix.
Verdict: Putt For Dough (6) to win.

Good support early for Cable Express (8) and I can see why. Made a flying start to his career, having won two of three and it was a strong effort at Wagga last time out. Tricky barrier but has good acceleration to cross and lead.
Matt Dunn and Nash Rawiller generally means a competitive horse in the Highway. This week they combine with Bandasha (2).
Stormy Witness (5) is on the back up and can run well.
Verdict: Gentileschi (9) to win.

Kureder (3) comes out of the same race and he too gets to 1800m third-up into the campaign. Got back to the tail and ran on that day. In the mix.
Noisy Boy (2) failed to run out the Derby trip but in his start prior in the Tulloch has him in the numbers for a race like this.
Waller and J-Mac combine with For Victory (11), who is fit and firing.
Verdict: Toesonthenose (1) each-way.

All of Spacewalk's (1) best runs have been first-up from a spell and he can trounce his opponents in the Gold Rush. Two trials have been good, Nash goes on and he can camp off a hot tempo.
His stablemate Parisal (4) is also returning and flies first-up from a spell. Unbeaten at the trip and drawn to get the run of the race from gate three with Zac Lloyd in the saddle.
Facile (12) ticks plenty of boxes. She's fit, drawn well and handles wet tracks.
Most of the same goes with Xtravagant Star (13), but she wouldn't want it too wet.
Verdict: Spacewalk (1) best bet of the day.

Willinga Beast (13) comes out of the same race. Never really found clear galloping room in the straight and was far from disgraced in the Group 1 TJ Smith Stakes the start prior. Just has a tricky barrier to contend with.
Call Di's (7) best is more than good enough, we just haven't seen it in a while. Has looked good at the trials in the lead up to her return and if she turns up, the $34 is huge overs.
Miss Hellfire (6) next best.
Verdict: Shadows Of Love (5) to win.

Schwarz (1) had his chance in the Arrowfield Sprint but will find this easier. Will be at his peak third-up into the campaign and James McDonald remains in the saddle.
Konasana (7) was an impressive winner on the deteriorating surface. Drawn a bit more tricky, the track won't be as wet as it was the other day and she is up in weight.
Butch Cassidy (4) will be up on the pace and hard to run down.
Verdict: Hasty Honey (16) each-way.

Nugget (4) finished within a length of Celestial Legend that day. Seems to mix his form a bit but there's no doubting that his best is good enough.
Wet conditions will suit Detonator Jack (1). He's a tough horse that loves a mile and looks to get the run of the race from barrier two and Josh Parr on.
Palmetto (10) is one of mine. Racing well without winning and did win on this day last year.
Verdict: Berkshire Shadow (3) best value bet for the day.

Kibou (4) returns. Will be rock hard fit following two trials and he's going to have to be after drawing terribly.
Chorlton Lane (5) turned in a strong first-up win. Much tricker assignment here and does seem to lose a bit of zip second-up into a campaign.
Snowman (19) is in the mix if he can gain a start.
Verdict: Excelladus (6) each-way.

Billy Slater's horse Chilly Filly (11) is first-up from a spell. Beat the likes of Spring Lee and Infancy during the summer carnival and the form for that has stacked up. Likely to be fitter for the run but has looked good in her two trials.
Dollar Magic (8) doesn't like to win but she's run second 10 times in her 17 starts. Will no doubt be competitive again.
Baroque Road (4) next best.
Verdict: Kote (1) each-way.
