Headlined by Russian Camelot, the Melbourne Cup favourite who seems to have taken Australian racing by storm after a remarkable SA Derby win last campaign.
He may be vulnerable first-up, which could see the likes of Kings Will Dream prove competitive after a slashing Lawrence effort first-up.

After a fantastic third in the PB Lawrence first-up, he looks in for a great prep where his main aim would be the Turnbull Stakes.
The natural step up to the mile looks suitable second-up and does get to his favourite track in Flemington.
He has the fitness edge over the likes of the classy Russian Camelot (which he will need), and does look the logical 1600m horse in the race.
Looking back further through the market, based on fitenss and end goals of horses, he is one of four horses that look big chances of winning.
At the current price, he is a great bet in the race.

Makybe Diva Stakes 2020 Next Best Bet - Russian Camelot
He is not a betting proposition at the early quote, but on a tipping perspective, he is the next best tip.
He bombed the start first-up last prep before being scratched at the gates at his next start.
Then winning over a mile at Pakenham, he took a sharp step up in trip and grade to the SA Derby over 2500m, which he won in emphatic fashion after sitting three-wide the trip.
Taking on a race like this is a different kettle of fish, but he has some major x-factor that will win him plenty of races in the future.
He is enigmatic, a star, and potentially one of the best stayers in Australia, and it is fair to say he will start a lot shorter in the Melbourne Cup if he can take this out first-up.

Makybe Diva Stakes 2020 Roughie - Harlem
The old boy comes to this race second-up where he has performed well before, and should have beaten Kings Will Dream last prep at Caulfield over 1800m.
Flemington is his favourite track, having won two Australian Cups, but the mile is still short of his best trip.
His run first-up in the Memsie showed us that he has come back well and can will keep improving as his prep goes on.
He can find his way into the exotics here but will be better suited over further.
