2. Ripper Effort | Has had 11 runs without breaking maiden. Won't be far away in the run. Not keen. |
3. Barely A Challenge | Ran six lengths back from the winner last start at Kyneton and should run fitter for past attempts. Carrying more weight. Looking to others. |
4. Handful | Narrowly beaten at long odds last start at Cranbourne on a soft track but could struggle from a wide barrier draw. Likely to settle back in the field. Unlikely. |
5. Hezazeb | Yet to break out of maiden grade after 11 attempts and goes up in distance for the first time. Looking elsewhere. |
6. Newzeel Deal | In the money last start running third at Mornington and should run fitter for past attempts. Tough to beat. |
7. Pulitzer Prize | Ran nine lengths back from the winner last start at Pakenham Park and first try at this distance. Awkwardly drawn. Place chance. |
8. Redskin Jimmy | Ran fourth last start at Mornington. Won't be far away in the run. Should fight out the finish. |
