1. Pragmatism | In the money last start running third at Canterbury when resuming. Has genuine early speed. Comes to hand quickly and placed at Canterbury when last second-up. Not the worst. |
2. Jervis | First starter and looks ready to go on back of trial performances. Watch early betting. |

7. Ciccina | On debut and ran in three trials. Watch the market. |
8. Ananagram | Ran ninth last start at Canterbury on a soft track. Should get a nice run behind a genuine early tempo and placed when fresh. Not keen. |
9. Dansk Havn | Still a maiden after 15 starts. Likely to race on the speed. Looking to others. |
10. Little Archie | Has had 11 runs without breaking maiden and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Expected to settle just off the speed. Prefer to watch go around. |
11. Roman Candle | Back from 29 week spell and trialling well. Big decrease in weight from last start. A winning chance. |

13. Titan Star | On a seven day back-up and yet to break out of maiden grade after 17 attempts. Up in trip. Not in this. |
14. Virtuous Miss | Resumes after spell of 22 weeks and has a win from two trials. Placed when on debut at Scone. Genuine contender. |
15. She Gives A Damn | Resumes from a 16 week spell and coming to a new trainer. Has run in seven races without placing. Hard to have. |
16. Magic Sally | Beaten by 12 lengths last start at Muswellbrook on a heavy track when first up and carries an extra 4kg from last run. Soft draw but still prefer others. |
