Tijuana $20.00/$4.80
Tijuana is knocking on the door.
The American Pharoah gelding is racing well without winning, and the form around him has repeatedly stood up.
The 1400m looks ideal at this stage of his preparation, and the current track conditions will play into his favour.
I suspect he has the fitness edge on most of his rivals and does his best racing in Victoria.
Over the odds!
Elouyou looks hard to toss in the lucky last.
The So You Think gelding is having a breakthrough campaign, and I suspect he can continue on his winning way with even luck in transit.
From barrier four, he will roll forward and pilot the field, and if he can find another gear when they run for the judge, he may prove hard to run down.
The class rise is his biggest obstacle.

Both have plenty of upside, and the early market support is overwhelming for the respective runners in question.
It’sourtime and Arkansaw Kid will fly the flag in the Regal Roller Stakes, while Pericles and Munhamek will fight out the finish in the feature event of the day, the Group 2 P.B. Lawrence Stakes.
