1. Gunaluva | In great form this prep winning twice and placing in all other attempts. Last start winner at Newcastle. Claim helps. Not the worst. |
2. Shadow Flight | Finished in the middle of the pack last start at Warwick Farm and five from six wins have been in the dry. Rates highly. |
3. Sepulchre | Won once this prep at Kembla four runs back and finished midfield last start at Warwick Farm. Drawn ideally but seems unlikely. |
4. Explosive Jack | Got the campaign off to a strong start winning when fresh and ran fifth last start at Goulburn on a soft track. Not the worst. |
5. Lama | Placed as a favourite last start at Nowra on a soft track but has had a flying start to their career. Right in this. |
6. Saint Ay | 3/4 len win of 11 (9) $3.30 56.0 Whiskey Jack, Fullyloadedfilly 2000m Bathurst 3yo+ Plate (C1) Good(4) Dec 21. 2-1/4 len win of 10 (7) $2.45F 55.5 The Fringe, Yak 2100m Orange 3yo+ (Bm58) Good(4) Dec 28. |
7. Savvy Valentino | Unplaced in all five runs this prep and came on to finish midfield last start at Warwick Farm. All two wins have come in the dry. Outside hope. |
8. Joe's Joy | Finished five lengths off the winner last start at Warwick Farm on a heavy track. Hard to go past. |
9. Zarafah | Coming off a win at Wagga Wagga. Likely to race off the speed and down in weight. Among the main chances. |
10. Persian Front | On a seven day back-up and won once this prep at Gosford four runs back. Without a win in five runs at Kembla. Appears tested. |
11. Fortaleza | Ran five lengths back from the winner last start at Orange. Expect to get back early. Appears safely held. |
