Check out the roughie selections below.
Eagle Farm Roughie Tip
Eagle Farm Roughie - Race 8 No. 6 Tijuana Two Step
There isn't much to fault with Tijuana Two Step, a mare who has seven wins and three placings from 13 starts, while she's been competitive at every appearance.
Her biggest lost last season was at the Sunshine Coast and the daughter of Super One should've finished closer in that June 8 attempt.
Tijuana Two Step was denied an outside run at a key stage in the home straight (still ran the fastest last 400m and 200m of the race).
She's been freshened-up since a sixth-place finish on June 21, with that event taken out by Sultry Siren (Saturday winner last month) and blinkers are now applied.
Moonee Valley Roughie Tip
Moonee Valley Roughie - Race 9 No. 1 Apache Song
It was good placement from Michael Trotter to get black-type for Apache Song, who contested the Group 2 Australia Stakes as a fit and in-form sprinter.
The mare has failed in two subsequent stakes attempts, which includes a last-of-eighth finish when resuming in the Group 3 Bletchingly Stakes at Caulfield.
She's now well back in grade to a BM84 and it's worth respecting the second-up improvements that have been made via her last two preps.
Apache Song was flying at The Valley last time in, with a winning hat-trick recorded here over November and December.
Morphettville Roughie Tip
Morphettville Roughie - Race 8 No. 7 Bad Detective
It might not be an ideal set-up in resuming against fitter opposition, however, Bad Detective could easily be the best to come from this race.
This lightly raced five-year-old was given some time after a decent debut behind the subsequent Victoria Derby winner and he the progressed nicely in his second prep.
He recorded two wins and two placings from four starts last campaign, which culminated in a tiring second behind Sparkup (won again next start).
Bad Detective arrived there off a dominant third-up victory and an experienced Jason Holder stays aboard the gelding for Saturday's return.
Pinjarra Roughie Tip
Pinjarra Roughie - Race 4 No. 8 Vancouver Storm
It was a stylish third-up victory Northam in a Class 1 that's produced three subsequent winners and he was unlucky prior that.
Vancouver Storm moved up in grade to contest a Class 3 at Bunbury on July 6, which was an honest chasing effort on a Heavy 9.
There was merit to his last run when in the market for a 2025m event at Pinjarra, where the gelding was wide and working.
He eventually found the front, however, the work told late in the piece with 59.5kg and Vancouver Storm carries 3.5kg less here.
Randwick Roughie Tip
Randwick Roughie - Race 10 No. 11 Kapakiri
Both winter trials leading into his July 16 resumption were good and while he could be one run short second-up, Kapakiri looks set for a nice prep.
There's more in his favour on Saturday from a better draw, with the rise to 1600m also suiting the Chris Waller-trained galloper second-up.
Kapakiri finished within a length of the winner via his most recent Randwick-Kensington resumption and that fresh run was effectively another trial.
His summer campaign fell away late, however, the early efforts were both decent, with a narrow fresh loss followed up by an unlucky second-up attempt.
