1. Emma's Jet | Won once this prep at Gold Coast three runs back and gets the blinkers on for the first time. All wins have come when faced with dry ground. Leading chance. |

3. Jakama | Last start winner at Ipswich on a soft track. Likely to race on the speed and won two of five as a favourite. Genuine contender. |
4. Desert Knight | Has got off to a poor start this campaign but should improve with fitness and faded to finish eighth last start at Doomben. All wins have come when faced with dry ground but appears tested. |
5. Liability | Unplaced in all five runs this prep and without a win in three runs at Ipswich. Carrying more weight. Not the worst. |

11. Whistlin' Arrow | Only just missed last start, finishing a length back from the winner at Dalby but has not won in three outings to Ipswich before. Draws to do no work but not keen. |
