1. La Dernier Fille | Faded to finish eighth last start at Launceston when resuming but has very strong form at the track. Carries an extra 6.5kg from last run. Knockout hope. |
2. Bogan Bill | Has two wins from five attempts this campaign and goes well at Launceston. 3kg claim should help. Consider. |
3. Gee Gee Manpower | Never in the race last start at Devonport when resuming and faces a rise in distance. Ran third at Hobart when last second-up. Serious player. |
4. So Astounding | Returns from eight week let-up and first run for a new trainer. Has placed in two runs from nine this campaign. Hard to hold out. |
5. Son of Faith | Placed in first start this prep but ran eight lengths back from the winner last start at Launceston. Up in trip. Right in this. |

7. Zipponet | First-up after 29 week break and placed when trialling at Hobart. Goes up in weight. Not in this. |
8. Louis' Choice | Finished eighth last start at Devonport when first up. Likely to settle back in the field and ran third at Port Lincoln when last second-up. Not in this. |
9. Needs Amore | Has placed in two runs from seven this campaign and gets the blinkers back on. Goes up in weight. Seems unlikely. |
10. Brimondo | Faded to finish 11th last start at Devonport and carries an extra 5kg from last run. Up in distance. Not in this. |
