1. Moculta Warrior | On debut and has a place in three trials. Watch betting. |
2. The Burning | Back from 14 week spell. Ran fourth at only start at Goulburn and draws to do no work. Serious player. |
3. Flame | Wanda Ings debutant and ran in three trials. Watch the market. |
4. Just Lose It | 6-1/2 len 7th of 11 (3) $14.00 56.5 Skara Brae 900m Wellington Mdn Good(4) June 4. |
5. Shiny Agent | Amongst the placegetters first two attempts this prep and placed last start at Warren. Trialled in the 37 days since last run. Place hope. |
6. Jay'n'jay | A 14 start maiden and ran ninth last start at Gunnedah but still should fight out the finish. |
7. Kazell | Ran seventh at only start at Gilgandra but goes down in weight. Drawn out wide. Looking elsewhere. |
8. Adam's First Pick | Beaten by eight lengths last start at Gilgandra on a soft track when fresh and concern is the wide barrier. Should get a nice run behind a genuine early tempo. Seems unlikely. |
9. Butterfingers | Faded to finish eighth last start at Orange and should run fitter for past attempts. Not the worst. |
10. Crown Street | First-up after 36 week break and has the speed to overcome a very wide draw. Goes down in weight. Well placed. |
11. Happy Az | Checked near 600m 5-3/4 len 10th of 11 (7) $31.00 55.5 We All Agree 1300m Dubbo Mdn Good(4) Oct 2. Overraced early, middle stages 4-1/4 len 6th of 8 (8) $51.00 53.5 Glover 1300m Coonamble Mdn Hcp Good(4) Oct 11. |
12. Hussniacki | Finished a neck back from the leader last start at Gilgandra and 4kg claim should help. Likely to race on the speed. Not out of it. |
13. Maggies Time | Short back-up of six days and large claim helps. Gets a nice run behind a genuine tempo. Expected to be a contender. |

16. Bobbie's Boy | Unplaced in career and faded to finish 14 lengths off the winner last start at Dubbo on a soft track. Claim helps but still look to others. |
17. Destiny's Revolt | Hasn't placed in 10 runs and finished midfield last start at Orange. Concern is the widest barrier. Seems unlikely. |
18. Twentyeightdragons | 1-1/2 len 4th of 10 (5) $4.40 57.5 Capalise 1000m Sapphire Coast Mdn Soft(6) Dec 27. |
