A $3.50 favourite for the derby, Tarzino also heads Vase betting at $4 after drawing gate 10 in the field of 12.

Tarzino is coming off a last-start seventh in the Caulfield Guineas and that race provides one of the major form references with Sovereign Nation (fourth), Shards (13th), Last Bullet (14th) and Kentucky Flyer (16th) also coming through that race.

Three fillies are lining up off last start runs in the Thousand Guineas with runner-up Jameka drawing gate five, fourth-placed Pasadena Girl in one and sixth-placed Sagaronne in barrier four.

Other key chances include Hierarchal in eight and Tally from barrier 12.

TAB fixed odds:

$4 Tarzino

$4.40 Pasadena Girl

$5 Jameka

$6 Sovereign Nation

$8 Tally

$11 Shards

$14 Hierarchal

$18 Last Bullet, Sagaronne

$41 Red Alto

$51 Assertive Star, Kentucky Flyer.
