1. Rising Hsiang | Ran seven lengths back from the winner last start at Devonport Synthetic but goes well at the track. Rates highly with Codi Jordan back on board but unlikely. |
2. Freelancer | Back from 26 week spell and undefefeated in two lead-up trials. Down in distance. Genuine contender. |
3. Turk Delight | First-up after 29 week spell and has the benefit of a Devonport Synthetic trial. Has won three times at the track before but still prefer others. |
4. Freak On A Lead | Coming off a win at Hobart and David Pires a bonus. Should race on the speed. Commands respect. |
5. Imagine Howe | Narrowly beaten as a favourite last start at Hobart and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Can't knock the form with two wins from nine attempts this campaign. Should be winning. |
6. Square Donut | |
7. Hot Relation | Faded to finish on the winners' heels last start at Devonport Synthetic and won once this prep at Launceston six runs back. Expect to be right up there. |
8. Lady Joker | Won once this prep at Launceston four runs back and only just missed in driving finish last start at Devonport Synthetic. Claim should help. Rough claims. |
9. So I'm Dreaming | Unplaced in all four runs this prep and ran fifth last start at Devonport Synthetic. Cannot entertain. |
10. Skilendra | Winner despite being unwanted in the betting last start at Devonport Synthetic and in strong form with two wins from 10 attempts this campaign. Large claim helps. Needs the breaks. |
