1. Epaullo Creed | Amongst the placegetters last start running second at Sapphire Coast on a soft track when first up and has the speed to overcome a very wide draw. Large claim helps. Hard to go past. |
2. Guetary | Ran sixth last start at Parkes on a heavy track when first up and drawn no favours. This looks too strong. |
3. Jungle Fever | Struggled so far this preparation and finished 10 lengths off the winner last start at Wagga. Not the worst. |
4. Sabazios | Finished at the rear last start at Goulburn but large claim helps. Should run fitter for two previous outings. Cannot entertain. |
5. Touchable Witness | Unplaced in career and did nothing to threaten last start at Wagga. Place hope. |
6. War Dog | On a five day back-up. Finished in the middle of the pack last start at Ballarat Synthetic and has two placings from six runs this prep. Will take a power of beating. |

9. Queen Lilibet | Faded to finish 10th last start at Sapphire Coast on a soft track when first up. Looking elsewhere. |
10. Sallista | Finished midfield last start at Warren on a soft track when first up and draws to do no work. Should race on the speed. Place only. |
11. White Foot | Faded to finish 10th last start at Wagga on a heavy track and down in distance. At least a place chance here. |
