1. Magnufighter | Handy rail, stuck on well but no turn of foot 1.6L at Doomben Qlty over 2000m. Sat behind leader, boxed on well in straight 3L at Doomben Qlty over 2020m. |
2. Skate to Paris | Just missed at long odds last start at Eagle Farm. Should get a nice run behind a genuine early tempo and wide barrier is a concern. Capable of getting into the money. |
3. Paradee | On a seven day back-up and will appreciate the cut in the ground. Won't be far away in the run. Will take a power of beating. |
4. Reckless Choice | Ran six lengths back from the winner last start at Eagle Farm but likes the cut in the ground. Faces a rise in trip. Expected to be a contender. |
5. Frosty Rocks | On a seven day back-up. Has won at Rosehill and placed twice this prep. Rates highly with Nash Rawiller retaining the ride. Should go well. |
6. Agassi | Coming to a new trainer and has the speed to overcome a very wide draw. Won't be far away in the run. Appears tested. |
7. Profit | On a seven day back-up. Finished in the middle of the pack last start at Gold Coast on a soft track. Gets a nice run behind a genuine tempo. Outsider. |
8. Itz Lily | Can't knock the form winning two in a row at Wyong and Newcastle. Won three of six with the sting out of the ground. Sneaky chance. |
9. Testashadow | Finished sixth last start at Randwick on a heavy track but rates well in these conditons. Has placed in two runs from seven this campaign but still hard to get enthused. |
10. Willo Titto | Was able to place at long odds last start at Eagle Farm when fresh and faces a rise in distance. Goes well at Gold Coast. Not the worst. |
11. Wapiti | Short back-up of seven days. In the money last start running third at Gold Coast and down in weight. Hard to hold out. |
12. Badoosh | Faded to finish fifth last start at Randwick on a heavy track but carries a lot less weight. Should run fitter for two previous outings. Prefer others. |
13. Plumaro | Can't knock the form with two wins from 11 attempts this campaign and has won two of seven on a softer track. Will be back in the field but suited by the likely solid tempo. Place only. |
14. Invinciano | Had to give up lead, no sprint, needs firmer 3.5L at Royal Randwick F&M Bm78 over 1400m Soft 5. Pressed forward to sit with leaders, whacked away but no match sixth 3.7L at Royal Randwick F&M Bm78 over 1500m Soft 5. |
15. So Dapper | Finished in the middle of the pack last start at Eagle Farm and likes the cut in the ground. Won once this prep at Sunshine Coast three runs back. Seems unlikely. |
