1. Yonkers | Back from let-up. Finished in the middle of the pack last start at Rosehill Gardens and Nash Rawiller has had success aboard previously. Rates as one of the key chances. |
2. Dashing Willoughby | Short back-up of seven days and has struggled so far this preparation. Up in journey. Unlikely. |
3. London Banker | Can't knock the form with four wins from nine attempts this campaign and up in distance. Won six of eight as a favourite. Can surprise. |
4. Our Intrigue | Came on to finish midfield last start at Eagle Farm and up in trip. Should run fitter for two previous outings. Hard to hold out. |
5. Djukon | Came on strong when just beaten last start at Doomben on a heavy track and up in distance. Should run fitter for two previous outings. Must respect. |
6. Seat Of Power | Won once this prep at Doomben three runs back and up in distance. Rates highly with Ben Thompson back on board. Commands serious thought. |
7. Star Of Michelin | Ran on strong to finish on the winner's heels last start at Eagle Farm and goes well at the track. Up in trip. Knockout hope. |
8. Humbolt Current | Finished worse than midfield last start at Doomben on a soft track but drawn ideally. Won once this prep at Gold Coast three runs back. Can surprise. |
9. Smart Meteor | Has two wins from eight attempts this campaign but awkwardly drawn. Up in journey. Hard to get enthused. |
10. Honorable Spirit | Unplaced in all four runs this prep and finished fifth last start at Eagle Farm. Has the speed to overcome an unfavourable draw but appears safely held. |
11. Lunasnit | Coming off a win at Eagle Farm and rates highly with Samantha Collett retaining the ride. Down in distance. Chance. |
12. Top Order | Placed last start at long odds at Eagle Farm and up in journey. Likely to settle back in the field. Looking to others. |
13. Lady Solerno | Finished in the middle of the pack last start at Doomben and has not won at Eagle Farm previously. Likely to race on the speed. Looking elsewhere. |
