1. Statesville | First start for a new trainer and placed in Warwick Farm trial. Faces a rise in trip. Beautifully placed. |
2. Sebago | Has placed in two runs from four this campaign and only just missed in driving finish last start at Tocumwal. Drawn ideally. Expected to be a contender. |
3. Sharlie | Ran seventh last start at Corowa when first up and up in distance. Comes to hand quickly and won at Albury when last second-up. Must respect. |
4. Street Cred | First-up after 37 week break and down in distance. This looks too strong. |
5. Saint Henry | Unsighted last start at Wodonga when first up but carrying less weight. Ran seventh at Wagga Wagga when last second-up. Unlikely. |
6. London Gal | 3-1/4 len 5th of 12 (3) $16.00 55.0 Ahead Start 1100m Wellington Hcp (C1) Soft(6) Mar 28. 2 len 2nd of 9 (8) $3.70F 55.5 The Deepest Secret 1300m Canberra Hcp (C1) Good(4) April 9. |
7. Final Showdown | Faded to finish sixth last start at Goulburn and concern is the wide barrier. Carrying less weight but not here. |
8. Awadhi | Back after 31 week break and needs a few starts to get warm. Likely to settle back in the field. Not out of it. |
9. War Blues | Just missed at long odds last start at Wagga Wagga on a heavy track but an untried jockey and trainer combination. Should race on the speed. Sneaky chance. |
10. Only A Dream | Resumes after spell of 31 weeks. Will come to hand quickly and ran second when last first-up at Wagga Wagga. Down in distance. Look to others. |
11. Cape Cluster | 9 len last of 10 (7) $41.00 55.5 Landmine 1200m Wagga (Bm58) Good(4) Jan 26. 11-3/4 len last of 8 (6) $151.00 55.5 Lady Brook 1200m Wagga Hcp (C4) Good(4) Feb 11. |
12. Fever Tree | Back from let-up and has struggled so far this preparation. Carrying less weight. Place hope. |
