1. Black Bolt | Last start winner at Ballarat Synthetic and in strong form with two wins from five attempts this campaign. Likely to race on the speed. Expect to be right up there. |
2. My Boy Birmingham | Narrowly beaten when heavily backed last start at Ballarat Synthetic and has very strong form at the track. Dean Holland has had success aboard previously. Looks a moral. |
3. Camelot Tales | Resumes from a long 42 week spell and having first start for a new trainer. Down in trip. Looks tested. |
4. Crystal Chief | Has two wins from seven attempts this campaign and finished in the middle of the pack last start at Pakenham Synthetic. Daniel Moor a bonus. Sneaky chance. |
5. El Santo | Can't knock the form with two wins from 11 attempts this campaign and finished in the middle of the pack last start at Ballarat Synthetic. This looks too strong. |
