1. Daveedo | Finished midfield last start at Esperance Bay and won once this prep at the track two runs back. Rates highly with Michelle Hagley aboard. Go well. |
2. Royal Soldier | Narrowly beaten as a favourite last start at Esperance Bay. Winner at the track and placed three times this campaign. Up in trip. Probably wins |
3. Husstarr | Ran home strongly to win on the line after sitting behind the leaders 0.3L at Esperance Mdn over 1600m. Hit the line nicely into third after sitting behind the speed 1.5L at Esperance Cl2 over 1990m. |
4. Rio Rogue | Disappointing last start at Ascot and won once this prep at Northam nine runs back. Claim should help but still looking to others. |
5. Aboard | Has placed in three runs from four this campaign and only just missed last start, finishing half a length back from the winner at Esperance Bay. Placed twice at the track but been unable to get a win. Not the worst. |
6. Bizzi Too | Displayed best work once the race was already won, sixth 1.6L at Esperance Mdn over 1400m. Positioned behind the front-runners and fought off challengers to win 0.4L at Esperance Mdn over 1600m. Has a history of running well at this track/distance. |
7. Sassational | Has placed in two runs from four this campaign and ran fifth last start at Esperance Bay. Concern is the wide barrier. Unlikely. |
8. Dynamic Force | Finished worse than midfield last start at Esperance Bay. Likely to race on the speed. Well placed. |
9. Imortalite | Has got off to a poor start this campaign but should improve with fitness and unsighted last start at Esperance Bay. Takes a 3kg claim but still looking to others. |
10. Krakkas | Struggled so far this preparation and faded to finish eighth last start at Esperance Bay. Running 4kg lighter than last start but looking to others. |
11. Miss Abby | Ran ninth last start at Esperance Bay and won once this prep at Kalgoorlie nine runs back. Without a win in five runs at the track. Not here. |
12. Sketch Line | Unplaced in all four runs this prep and has not won at Esperance Bay previously. Faces a rise in trip. Cannot entertain. |
13. Prince Hal | Came on to finish midfield last start at Esperance Bay and drawn no favours. Expected to settle off the speed. Capable of getting into the money. |
