2. Carlisle | Looking for a hatrick after winning two in a row at Sandown Hillside and Racing.com Park. Drawn perfectly. A good chance. |
3. British Columbia | Strong in winning last start at Racing.com Park and in strong form with two wins from five attempts this campaign. All wins have come when faced with dry ground. Forward showing no surprise. |
4. General Firepower | Has two wins from six attempts this campaign and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Appears safely held. |
5. Sonora | Has two wins from four attempts this campaign and came on to finish midfield last start at Sandown Hillside. Won two of three as a favourite. At least a place chance here. |
6. Aktolgali | Ran eighth last start at Geelong and would prefer the sting out of the ground. Likely to race near the speed in a race without much early pace. Hard to have. |
7. Flash Feeling | Ran three lengths back from the winner last start at Sandown Hillside on a soft track and won once this prep at Racing.com Park four runs back. Likely to race near the speed in a race without much early pace. Go well. |
8. Playing It Safe | Coming off a win at Spendthrift Australia Park. Expected to settle off the speed and rates highly with Will Price aboard. Not the worst. |
