1. Alfie All Talent | Last start winner at long odds to break maiden at Launceston when fresh and winner at the track before. Right in this. |

3. Herman's Bells | Came on to finish midfield last start at Launceston and should run fitter for past attempts. Up in distance. Consider. |
4. Look To The Future | Finished in the middle of the pack last start at Launceston when fresh and trial placing in 35 days since last race adds confidence. Placed at Hobart in only second-up attempt. Hard to beat. |
5. Dinga's Delight | Resumes after a 13 week spell and has not won in seven outings to Launceston before. Likely to settle back in the field. Can surprise. |
6. Holy Diamond | Finished fourth last start at Devonport and draws to do no work. Likely to race on the speed in a race with minimal pressure expected. Commands respect. |
7. The Guilty Party | Did nothing to threaten last start at Launceston and no wins in four past runs at the track. Won once this prep at Hobart four runs back. Hard to have. |
8. Subtle Cross | Unplaced in all four runs this prep and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Down in weight but still not keen. |
9. Mannix | Unplaced in all five runs this prep and without a win in five runs at Launceston. Returns to shorter trip. Looking elsewhere. |
