1. Stephan | Faded from front position to finish just off the winner last start at Wagga Wagga and carrying less weight. Claim helps. Solid claims. |
2. Up Trumpz | Finished midfield last start at Canterbury and racing back from the city. Should run fitter for two previous outings. Commands respect. |
3. I Am Capitan | Only able to place as favourite last start at Gilgandra on a soft track but has three placings from four runs this prep. Takes a 3kg claim. Commands serious thought. |

5. The Long Run | Won once this prep at Narromine three runs back and finished four lengths off the winner last start at Orange. Draws to do no work but not in this. |
6. Lettre D'amour | Faded to finish eight lengths off the winner last start at Warwick Farm but likes the cut in the ground. Racing back from the city but hard to have. |
7. I Stole Your Love | First-up after 15 week spell and placed when trialling at Orange. Big drop in weight. Not the worst. |
8. Tessera | Led all the way to win last start at Kembla on a heavy track and should run fitter for past attempts. Likely to race on the speed. Strong claims. |
9. Rogue Runner | Can't knock the form with two wins from 10 attempts this campaign and has the speed to overcome drawing the widest barrier. Likes the cut in the ground. Place hope. |
10. What the Fuss | Can't knock the form with two wins from eight attempts this campaign and last start winner at Gilgandra. Has the speed to overcome a very wide draw. Sneaky chance. |
11. Redirect | Faded to finish fourth last start at Dubbo and placed when fresh. Running 4kg lighter than last start but hard to get enthused. |
