1. Boomsong | Led throughout for a dominant win last start to break maiden at Kembla Grange when fresh. Has shown early speed in races to date and has won here before. Should fight out the finish. |

4. Whasir | Unsighted last start at Hawkesbury when resuming but drawn ideally. Won't be far away in the run. Not here. |

7. Flower Moon | Resumes after a 34 week spell and trialled at Rosehill Gardens. One of the main hopes. |
8. Successful Star | Resumes after a 20 week spell and won at Nowra in first outing. Has shown potential in trials. Place chance. |
9. Little Jeanie | Got the campaign off to a strong start winning when fresh. Should get a nice run behind a genuine early tempo. Not in this. |
10. Willy Wilson | Finished midfield last start at Nowra and 4kg claim should help. Has not won at Kembla Grange previously. Looks tested. |
