The Group 1 Toorak Handicap (1600m) will be hard to pick with a handful of horses a legitimate chance in this one. Join The Roar for commentary and late mail before the race start time of 4:30pm AEDT.

Akavouron is my pick in this one. He raced well fresh against Disposition before disappointing last start, has a huge weight swing here on Disposition and may cause the upset at $26.

Disposition just couldn’t get to Stratum Star last start and goes up half a kilo on last start. Third up is unbeaten so expect something here at $4.80 as the race favourite.

Stratum Star will find it hard to beat Disposition this time around with the weight going up 2.5kg on last start, but will be right in this at $7.50.

Lucky Hussler hasn’t quite been on the form he showed last preparation where he won the William Reid. Hard to see him winning at the weights. Is a $5 chance for those willing.

Hi World back from WFA is a big plus where he was seventh in that great Underwood race gets the 4.5kg drop from last start, has a good record at this distance and is a huge chance at $15.

Kenjorwood beat Jacquinot Bay in a great race last start, is he up to this class? $15 seems a fair quote.

Jacquinot Bay is severely underrated in this race at $41 considering he drops a massive 5.5kg on last start. Put him right in the mix here winning half of his 12 starts over this distance.

Abidewithme the last one to watch here, she beat Set Square a few starts back before disappointing in the Rupert Clarke. Maybe a swing in the weights will help? I still think $11 is a little short.

Hopfgarten and Strawberry Boy should be put in multiples.
