2. Dollareuro | Finished strongly to end up midfield last start at Sunshine Coast when first up. Comes to hand quickly and won at Doomben when last second-up. Carrying less weight. Serious player. |
3. Great Marlow | Won once this prep at Grafton two runs back and finished in the middle of the pack last start at Coffs Harbour on a soft track. Likely to race off the speed. Appears tested. |
4. Racing Paradise | Just missed at long odds last start at Ipswich but could struggle from the widest barrier. Should run fitter for two previous outings. Not the worst. |
5. Sayl | Resumes after spell of 17 weeks and has trialled at Gold Coast. Ran third at Eagle Farm when last first-up. Prefer to watch go around. |
6. Traduce | Resumes after a 15 week spell and has placed once in two trials. Down in distance. Seems unlikely. |
7. Alpendurada | Faded to finish three lengths off the winner last start at Sunshine Coast on a soft track but draws to do no work. Just the one placing this campaign at Eagle Farm. Chance. |

9. Expert Eye | Amongst the placegetters first two attempts this prep and placed last start at Doomben. Won't be far away in the run. Hard to go past. |
10. Perfect Impression | Slowly away. Raced below expectations. Too firm 4-1/4 len 7th of 8 (4) $3.50F 57.5 Lot's Wife 1400m Gold Coast F&M (Bm65) Good(4) Dec 2. Hit rail near 800m 1-3/4 len 5th of 8 (1) $17.00 55.5 Daltoro 1200m Doomben Plate (C2) Good(4) Feb 11. |
11. Tamilaide | Came on strong in the end to win at only start at Murwillumbah on a heavy track and rates highly with Andrew Mallyon aboard. Goes down in weight. Hard to go past. |
