Miles Pfitzner is joined by Tom Haylock and Dean Elliott to reflect on the winners of the big races from last spring, and how their preparation played out. From next week, the boys will take this into account as they look to identify those in line for success this spring.

Also on the show, Dave Eustace recalls the preparation of Hitotsu en route to taking out last year's Victoria Derby, and Racing Victoria's outgoing Chief Handicapper Greg Carpenter breaks down the additional $5million on offer across the carnival's major races.
