2. Twelve Apostles | First start and placed in all four lead-up trials. Draws to do no work. Watch the market. |
3. Flying Euros | Ran four lengths back from the winner last start at Inverell on a soft track when fresh. Comes to hand quickly and placed at Coffs Harbour when last second-up. Up in journey. Hard to hold out. |
4. Harlequin Field | Laid out near turn 5-3/4 len 6th of 10 (8) $15.00 57.0 On The Lead 1000m Kembla Grange 2yo Mdn Soft(6) July 23. Began awkwardly. Checked near 1000m 4 len 6th of 10 (2) $3.30 58.5 Violation 1100m Ipswich 3yo Mdn Hcp Good(4) Dec 24. |
5. Praeferox | Finished in the middle of the pack last start at Coffs Harbour and has the speed to overcome a very wide draw. Carrying less weight. At least a place chance here. |
6. Better Be Careful | Was able to place at long odds last start at Ballina on a soft track and should run fitter for past attempts. Carrying less weight. Not the worst. |
7. Full Press | Resumes from a 20 week spell and placed when on debut at Grafton. Drawn the rails. Serious player. |
8. Vitae | Slowly away 9-1/4 len 8th of 11 (9) $16.00 56.0 Sakura Star 1100m Gold Coast 3yo Mdn Good(3) Dec 5. Slowly away. Laid in in straight 3/4 len 2nd of 7 (4) $4.80 55.5 To Dem With Love 1200m Murwillumbah Mdn Plate Soft(5) Dec 27. |
9. Fior The Tiger | Placed when unwanted in the betting last start at Ballina on a soft track and a big drop in weight. Should run fitter for two previous outings. Rough claims. |
10. Medusa's Fury | 3-1/2 len 4th of 11 (4) $101.00 55.0 Murungal 1015m Grafton 2yo Mdn Soft(5) June 28. Hampered at start. Eased down. Too wet 21-1/2 len last of 10 (9) $26.00 56.0 Real Appeal 1200m Doomben F&M Mdn Soft(6) July 29. |
11. Miss Pierpoint | Still a maiden after 14 starts and without a win in six runs at Ballina. Needs the breaks. |
12. Missy Em | Finished seventh at only start at Ipswich but down in weight, still prefer others. |
13. Rise'n'shine | Finished in the middle of the pack last start at Ipswich and drops 1.5kg from last run. Place. |
14. Supreme Lexie | Disappointing last start at Coffs Harbour on a heavy track and this campaign's form has left a lot to be desired. Drawn out wide. Looks tested. |
15. Quarter Charge | Still a maiden after 10 starts and gets the winkers on for the first time. Big decrease in weight from last start but unlikely. |
16. Jump Start | Has had 11 runs without breaking maiden. Should race on the speed. Cannot entertain. |

18. Explosive Device | Yet to place in nine attempts and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Without a win in eight runs at Ballina. Looking elsewhere. |
