1. Capellani | Short back-up of seven days and two wins from six attempts this campaign. Won't be far away in the run. Expected to be a contender. |
2. Dr Dependable | On a seven day back-up and has two placings from eight runs this prep. Tough to beat. |
3. Gravistas | Ran 16 lengths back from the winner last start at Sale and 3kg claim should help. Just the one placing this campaign at Hamilton. Looking to others. |

5. Not Usual Dream | Unplaced in all five runs this prep and ran fourth last start at Hamilton on a heavy track. Won't be far away in the run. Hard to have. |
6. Periscope | Short back-up of seven days and gets the blinkers back on. Placed in three of four at Casterton before but hard to get enthused. |
7. Zedstar | Has placed in two runs from seven this campaign but finished 10 lengths off the winner last start at Geelong. Should race on the speed. Not here. |
8. Zoffany Rocket | Let-up and large claim helps. No wins in four past runs at Casterton. Cannot entertain. |
9. Zouy's Comet | Has placed in three runs from eight this campaign and placed at trial since last race 35 days ago. Drawn perfectly. A good chance. |
10. Hakuna Matata | Failed to win as a favourite last start at Hamilton on a heavy track but has three placings from five runs this prep. Expect to be right up there. |
