It was another dominant performance from our Early Market Movers last week, identifying Major Beel at a massive $10 quote when first tipped.
We now turn our attention to both key venues and punters have pushed the button on several early prices, which have since tumbled in off their opening quotes.
At Flemington, a key runner in the Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes has not been missed early and looks like an excellent chance with a strong speed map advantage.
Whilst at Rosehill, Anthony and Sam Freedman travel a smart 3yo colt on the rise.

Baraquiel
A Corstens runner for an ownership group that shares their horses around and expects results.
The stable has had plenty of success for these connections and will be keen to impress here, especially against the Stokes trained runner in the same silks.
He was good here last start over the 1200m when started favourite ($3.00) and ran a credible race to place 3rd of 14.
Point King
Is on a Cups path and did win well last start at Moonee Valley for the new trainer, when there was late support in betting ($13 into $8).
This race is much deeper however he was ultra-impressive last time out when winning by 3.8 lengths, hence deserves his chance amongst the higher quality Spring stayers.
Based on his UK form expect him to be very well suited by the step up to 2800m and he should be right in the finish here.
Mr Brightside
High-quality Group 1 galloper who did enough first-up against the topliners and is likely to have improved off that run.
The second-up stats (6:4-1-0) are excellent and Team Hayes will have him cherry ripe here.
His tactical speed is a great asset and from gate 4 they have options to race at the front of the field or take a sit just in behind the first pair.
Spacewalk
Godolphin runner who had an excellent Spring campaign in his initial preparation and is certainly well above average.
He has been readied with 2 solid trial hit-outs, hence should be forward enough to be a genuine winning hope here.
If the outside lanes are preferred down the straight he can take full advantage of barrier 11 and tag the leading division, before presenting late.
Alabama State
The breed has an enviable strike rate with most trainers keen to get their hands on the Alabama Express stock.
This colt may not be in the absolute top echelon however appears a rock solid “bread and butter” horse who can win city-class races if placed well.
This race lacks depth and with a featherweight (52.5kg) he will have every chance.
Kapakiri
Waller runner who has been knocking on the door in recent runs and is now rock-hard fit.
The master trainer appears to have found the right race here with a lack of quality and a genuine tempo.
He had excuses last time out when held up and does get a significant rider upgrade here to Josh Parr.
Henlein
Interesting runner travelling to Sydney by Anthony and Sam Freedman who are revelling in the recent success of their star Tassort 3yo filly Ameena.
He won well on debut at Bendigo then came straight to town and placed 3rd of 12 at Flemington when running on from well back.
I suspect they ride a touch closer in the run here, to give him every chance to reel in the leading division.
Bustling
Holds plenty of interest after being specifically purchased by the current owners for a tilt at the Everest.
The motivation is high for all concerned, especially the training team who will be out to show the horse is right up to this class.
Whilst there may be some left in the tank, they will certainly want to run well here to showcase their Everest credentials.
