1. High Cost | Resumes after spell of 13 weeks and ran third at Gold Coast when last first-up. Without a win in nine runs at Eagle Farm. Seems unlikely. |
2. Defence Missile | Faded to finish sixth last start at Doomben. Likely to race on the speed. One of the main hopes. |

4. She's Choosie | Ran two lengths back from the winner last start at Ballina on a soft track but takes a 3kg claim. Carries a lot less weight. A good chance. |
5. Clever Miss | Has won at Sunshine Coast once and placed in all other attempts this campaign. Placed last start at Sunshine Coast. Won't be far away in the run. Sneaky chance. |
6. Trengganu | Resumes after a 15 week spell. Resumes well and won at Toowoomba when last first-up. Has run well on a soft track. Probably wins |
7. Spinning Spirit | Back after 27 week break and placed when trialling at Toowoomba. Ran fifth at Toowoomba when last first-up. Not in this. |
8. Mishani Rebel | Got the campaign off to a strong start winning when fresh and will appreciate the cut in the ground. Drawn the rails. Cannot rule out. |
9. Toujours L'amour | Has two wins from 12 attempts this campaign and has gone well on a softer track. Outside hope. |
