1. Dominus | Beaten by 13 lengths last start at Darwin when fresh and up in journey. Ran ninth at Murray Bdge when last second-up. Unlikely. |
2. Orcein | Won once this prep at Darwin four runs back and in the money last start running third at the track. Up in distance. Well placed. |
3. Obligatory | Can't knock the form with two wins from six attempts this campaign and has multiple wins at Darwin. Jarrod Todd has a strike rate of 26% for this trainer. Ideally suited. |
4. Brother Bassy | Has won at Darwin and placed twice this campaign but ran fifth last start at the track. two from four wins have been in the dry. Chance. |
5. Pembroke Castle | Couldn't hold on and just missed last start at Darwin. Large claim helps. Should run fitter for two previous outings. Well placed. |
6. Jet Jackson | Can't knock the form with three wins from 10 attempts this campaign and blinkers come off. three of five wins have come from dry ground. Can surprise. |
7. Boom Boom Sweet | Finished seventh last start at Darwin but all wins have come when faced with dry ground. Faces a rise in trip. Looking elsewhere. |
8. Mangione | Faded to finish four lengths off the winner last start at Darwin when resuming and up in journey. Ran eighth at Ballarat Synthetic when last second-up. Looking elsewhere. |
