1. Suburbia | Last start winner at Wodonga and all four wins have come in the dry. Should be near the speed in a race without much early pace. Strong hope. |
2. Taco Tiger | Finished midfield last start at Wodonga when resuming and won at Swan Hill in only second-up attempt. Drawn perfectly. Well placed. |
3. High Hopes | Faded to finish eight lengths off the winner last start at Bendigo when first up and up 4kg from last run. Likely to race on the speed in a race with minimal pressure expected. Not in this. |
4. Storm's Colours | Placed last start at Bendigo and should run fitter for past attempts. One of the main hopes. |
5. Gun Bolt | Finished midfield last start at Yarra Valley and two from four wins have been in the dry. Returns to shorter trip. Among the chances. |
6. Ferrocerium | Finished midfield last start at Bendigo and two from three wins have been in the dry. Each-way claims. |
7. Filbert Way | Finished midfield last start at Woolamai and no wins in three past runs at Kilmore. Big decrease in weight from last start but hard to have. |
8. Lady Cellarbration | Finished at the rear last start at Kilmore and up in distance. Won once this prep at Geelong seven runs back. Appears safely held. |
