1. I Dream of Green | Faded to finish eight lengths off the winner last start at Sunshine Coast on a soft track when first up and ran sixth at Gold Coast when last second-up. Claim helps but this looks too strong. |
2. Leroytheconqueror | Unsighted last start at Eagle Farm on a soft track when fresh and blinkers come off for the first time. Generally strong second-up. Must respect. |
3. Kievann | Finished sixth last start at Eagle Farm and has gone well on a softer track. Carries an extra 4.5kg from last run. Not keen. |
4. Dio D'oro | Resumes from a 23 week spell and coming to a new trainer. Trialling very well. Rough claims. |
5. Euro Belle | Resumes after a 24 week spell and looks ready to go following convincing trial win at Gold Coast. Resumes well. Will take a power of beating. |

7. Rinviata | Back from let-up. Ran two lengths back from the winner last start at Gold Coast when first up and drops in weight but still look to others. |
8. Trail of Glory | Just missed as favourite last start at Toowoomba on a soft track and goes well at Ipswich. Has won at Toowoomba and placed three times this campaign. Winning chance. |

10. Chivargo | Winner of three in a row after last start win at Sunshine Coast and won two of six with the sting out of the ground. Among the main chances. |
11. Desert Knight | Back after 23 week break and ran fourth at Ipswich when last first-up. Carries a lot less weight but still hard to get enthused. |
