1. Girls Are Ready | Back from let-up and down in distance. 3kg claim should help but not keen. |
2. La Sante | Faded from front position to finish just off the winner last start at Kensington and has two placings from four runs this prep. Racing back from metro track. Can get the job done. |
3. Affinity Beyond | Placed last start at Canberra on a soft track when resuming and goes well at the track. Takes a 3kg claim. Can get the job done. |
4. Dip Me Lid | Finished worse than midfield last start at Wagga when resuming and widest barrier is a concern. Down in distance. Appears tested. |
5. Miss Ostend | Won once this prep at Wagga three runs back and amongst the placegetters last start running second at Gosford. Rates highly with Molly Bourke aboard. Strong hope. |
6. Crucial Witness | Won once this prep at Wagga three runs back and rates well on a softer track. Down in distance. Seems unlikely. |
7. Easy Rosie | Pre race incident. Passed fit at barrier 1/2 len win of 8 (1) $3.00 57.0 Devine Miss, Shaddy 1200m Canberra Hcp (C2) Soft(7) April 8. Struck interference at start. Lame 2/5 5-1/2 len 12th of 15 (12) $9.00 55.5 Freedom Square 1200m Gosford 3yo+ Hi-Way-C3 Heavy(8) May 7. |
8. Starliv | Having first start for a new trainer and rates well on a softer track. Has not won in four outings to Canberra before. Not the worst. |
9. Zelago | Only just missed last start, finishing three quarters of a length back from the winner at Sapphire Coast. Won't be far away in the run. Cannot entertain. |
10. All Formidable | Finished five lengths off the winner last start at Wagga and just the one placing this campaign at Wagga. Won two of four as a favourite. Place. |
11. Unique Prince | Finished six lengths off the winner last start at Wagga on a heavy track and gets the winkers on for the first time. Placed once this prep at Wagga. Rough claims. |
12. Nobody's Puppet | Faded to finish six lengths off the winner last start at Wagga on a heavy track and won once this prep at Sapphire Coast three runs back. Without a win in 13 runs at Canberra. Not in this. |
13. Accrue | Couldn't hold on and just missed last start at Sapphire Coast on a soft track. Likely to race on the speed and just the one placing this campaign at Albury. Prefer to watch go around. |
