1. Vespertine | Ran three lengths back from the winner last start at Flemington and 3kg claim should help. Won once this prep at Caulfield five runs back. Commands respect. |
2. Butter Chicken | Resumes from a 30 week spell and resumes well. Gets a nice run behind a genuine tempo. Genuine contender. |
3. Need New Friends | Ran sixth last start at Sandown Hillside on a heavy track when resuming and concern is the wide barrier. Without a win in four runs at Flemington. Forward showing no surprise. |
4. Saigon | Narrowly beaten at long odds last start at Sandown Hillside on a heavy track when resuming. Gets a nice run behind a genuine tempo and wide barrier is a concern but still go well. |
5. Laffalong | Beaten easily last start at Sandown Hillside on a heavy track when resuming but comes to hand quickly and won at Cranbourne when last second-up. Likely to race just off the speed. Not in this. |
6. Witchfulthinking | Amongst the placegetters last start running second at Oakbank and two from four wins have been in the dry. Patrick Moloney has had success aboard previously. Perfectly placed. |
7. It's Kind Of Magic | On a seven day back-up. Unwanted by the market but right up there last start at Caulfield and has two placings from six runs this prep. Place. |
8. The Stylist | Short back-up of seven days. Faded to finish 11th last start at Caulfield but placed in three of four at Flemington before. Rough claims. |
9. Tripoli | Back from 29 week spell and having first run for a new trainer. Might need the run. Prefer to watch go around. |
10. Adele Amour | Winner at Caulfield and placed once this prep. Draws to do no work. Won't be far away in the run. Well placed. |
11. Tilianam | Unplaced in all five runs this prep and faded to finish sixth last start at Warrnambool. All wins have come when faced with dry ground. Rough claims. |
12. Gunna Gunna | Winner despite being unwanted in the betting last start at Geelong on a soft track but rises to metro class. Has three wins from seven attempts this campaign but appears tested. |
