1. Kendel's Impact | Still a maiden after 21 starts and gets the winkers on for the first time. Without a win in five runs at Esperance Bay. Outside hope. |
2. Oilskin | A 10 start maiden and finished midfield last start at Esperance Bay. No wins in three past runs at the track. Needs the breaks. |
3. Devalera Park | Ran two lengths back from the winner last start at Esperance Bay and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Should race on the speed. Perfectly placed. |
4. Run For Gold | Faded to finish fifth last start at Esperance Bay and blinkers come off for the first time. Has not won in three outings to the track before. Not in this. |
5. Offensive | Amongst the placegetters last start running third at Esperance Bay. Solid claims. |
6. Wheatstack Thief | Ran nine lengths back from the winner last start at Esperance Bay but drawn perfectly. Should run fitter for two previous outings. Not the worst. |
7. Atlantic Ruler | Back from 13 week spell and will come to hand quickly. In the mix. |
8. Bergano | Was able to place at long odds last start at Esperance Bay and should run fitter for past attempts. Expected to be a contender. |
9. Dash Cam | Struggled so far this preparation and ran 13 lengths back from the winner last start at Ascot. Trialled in the 20 days since last run but look to others. |
