1. The Fugazi | Has placed in two runs from five this campaign and only just missed last start, finishing a length back from the winner at Ascot. Returns to shorter trip. Big chance. |
2. Peppijack | Short back-up of six days. Finished eighth last start at Albany but two from seven wins have been in the dry. A winning chance. |
3. Saucy Jack | Ran eighth last start in the Ted Van Heemst Stakes and down in distance. Has placed in two runs from seven this campaign but not in this. |
4. Bee Quick | Has two wins from three attempts this campaign but faded to finish fourth last start at Ascot. Large claim helps. A winning chance. |
5. Giant Leap | Narrowly beaten when heavily backed last start at Ascot when resuming and faces a rise in distance. William Pike and Grant, Alana Williams are a proven combination. A good chance. |
6. Greywolf | Short back-up of seven days and no wins in five past runs at Ascot. Large claim helps but still hard to get enthused. |
7. Bruce Almighty | Placed when unwanted in the betting last start at Pinjarra Park and drawn ideally. Should race on the speed. Rough claims. |
8. Classy Macro | Won once this prep at Ascot four runs back and faded to finish on the winners' heels last start at Pinjarra Park. Carrying less weight. Knockout hope. |
9. Seminole Brave | Placed in first start this prep but finished two lengths off the winner last start at Ascot. Up in journey. Not out of it. |
10. Western Rhythm | Has placed in two runs from five this campaign and winkers come off for the first time. Has disappointed in all three starts as a favourite. Not in this. |
