1. Ballistic Boy | Short back-up of seven days and in strong form with two wins from four attempts this campaign. Will appreciate the cut in the ground. Should be right in the finish. |
2. Black On Gold | Narrowly beaten at long odds last start at Randwick. Has won at Hawkesbury and placed once this prep. Placed in two of three at Gold Coast before. Among the main chances. |
3. Primitivo | Finished three lengths back last start at Randwick. Likely to race off the speed and Glen Boss a bonus. Should go well. |
4. A Man To Match | Unplaced in all five runs this prep and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Likely to settle back in the field. Forward showing no surprise. |
5. Elaborate | Won once this prep at Rosehill four runs back and finished fourth last start at Eagle Farm. Likely to race on the speed. Expected to be a contender. |
6. Skiddaw | Placed as a favourite last start at Flemington and blinkers come off for the first time. Drawn perfectly. Needs the breaks. |
7. Parry Sound | Can't knock the form with two wins from seven attempts this campaign and goes well on a softer track. Carries a lot less weight. Needs the breaks. |
8. Decroux | Has struggled in all four runs so far this campaign but down in weight. Likely to race on the speed. Looking to others. |
9. Pure Deal | Short back-up of seven days and is yet to salute in four runs this prep. Up in weight. Not in this. |
10. Sokudo | Has placed in two runs from six this campaign but faded to finish 11th last start at Eagle Farm. Placed in two of three at Gold Coast before but not here. |
11. Commander Bell | Beaten by seven lengths last start at Warwick Farm on a heavy track but down in weight. Just the one placing this campaign at Wyong. Not in this. |
12. So You're Magic | Faded to finish ninth last start at Doomben on a soft track. Won't be far away in the run and just the one placing this campaign at Gold Coast. This looks too strong. |
