1. Bless the Fleet | Has had 20 runs without breaking maiden and finished in the middle of the pack last start at Stawell when resuming. Ran fourth at Werribee when last second-up. Looking elsewhere. |
2. Just Hang Up | First Start. By Turffontein - Cold Call |
3. Rock Smock | Slowly away 7-1/4 len last of 7 (7) $31.00 59.5 American Saint 1200m Mornington 3yo+ Mdn Good(4) Dec 15. 10-1/4 len 9th of 10 (8) $17.00 57.5 I'm Oh So Pretty 1000m Burrumbeet 3yo+ Mdn Good(3) Jan 1. |
4. Yensir | Having first start in Australia and won one of two trials. Market as guide. |

7. Ask Isla | On a six day back-up and unplaced in career. Down in distance. This looks too strong. |
8. Shapurb | Finished worse than midfield at only start at Kyneton and wide barrier is a concern. Looking to others. |
9. Wongabelle | A 12 start maiden but placed last start at Stawell. Won't be far away in the run. Chance. |
10. Camp Cove | Amongst the placegetters last start running third at Terang and drawn ideally. Claim should help. Place hope. |
11. Forever Girl | First starter and has not trialled. Concern is the widest barrier. Watch early betting. |
12. Yesmeena | Just missed as favourite last start at Burrumbeet and has three placings from four runs this prep. Likely to settle back in the field. Strong claims. |
13. Feargal | Finished worse than midfield last start at Terang when resuming and gets the winkers on for the first time. Awkwardly drawn. Not keen. |
14. Jessica Jessica | Has struggled in both runs so far this campaign and finished nine lengths off the winner last start at Terang. Seems unlikely. |
15. The Yachtsman | Ran 10th last start at Terang and gets the winkers on for the first time. Likely to settle back in the field. Appears tested. |
16. Pacific Crest | Short back-up of six days and has had 47 without breaking maiden. Down in distance. Prefer to watch go around. |
