1. Get The Idea | Has two wins from eight attempts this campaign and placed last start at Warwick Farm on a heavy track. Drawn ideally. Confident will go close. |
2. Castel Sant'angelo | Resumes after spell of 13 weeks and has placed once in two trials. Returns to shorter trip. Looks tested. |
3. First Footman | Faded to finish eighth last start at Nowra when resuming but placed at Newcastle in only second-up attempt. Likely to race on the speed. Place chance. |
4. Prince Aurelius | Winner of last two at Wagga Wagga and Moruya but up in weight. Not out of it. |
5. Eugenio | Unsighted last start at Wyong when first up and up in distance. Carrying less weight but still appears tested. |
6. Segrill | Won once this prep at Wyong three runs back and placed last start at Gosford. Won't be far away in the run. Solid claims. |
7. River Charge | On a seven day back-up and two wins from five attempts this campaign. Has not won at Kembla previously. Unlikely. |
8. Sky Diamonds | Ran fifth last start at Gosford and down in weight. Claim should help. Should fight out the finish. |
9. Send Me Wild | Has two wins from three attempts this campaign but finished sixth last start at Gosford. Drops in weight. Should go well. |
10. Captain Manering | Short back-up of six days. Was able to place at long odds last start at Nowra but up 2.5kg from last run. Appears tested. |
