1. Illation | Unbeaten in both runs and coming off a win at Morphettville. Won all previous races as a favourite. Hard to beat. |
2. Umgawa | Won once this prep at Flemington two runs back and goes well on a softer track. Damien Oliver a bonus. A winning chance. |
3. Riddlero | Narrowly beaten when heavily backed last start at Geelong and has been flying of late. Proven perfromer on a soft track. Not the worst. |
4. Hopon Harry | Ran fifth last start at Morphettville and no wins in five past runs at the track. Has placed in three runs from four this campaign but still prefer to watch go around. |
5. Residue | Has placed in two runs from five this campaign and down in distance. Tends to go well on a softer track. Sneaky chance. |
6. Tavikat | Has won at Gawler once and placed in all other attempts this campaign. Has the speed to overcome drawing the widest barrier. Has placed twice at Morphettville before. Place chance. |
7. Benz Baron | Has two wins from six attempts this campaign and won last start at Port Augusta. Concern is the wide barrier. Not in this. |
8. Prince Jofra | Won once this prep at Penola two runs back and faded to finish 12th last start at Morphettville on a soft track. Likely to race on the speed. Not in this. |
9. Flight Deck | Finished 15th last start at Morphettville and down in distance. Won once this prep at Gawler three runs back. Cannot entertain. |
10. Vino Decasa Nostra | Winner despite being unwanted in the betting last start to break maiden at Gawler and has the speed to overcome a very wide draw. Won't be far away in the run. Not the worst. |

12. Last Girl Love | Narrowly beaten as a favourite last start at Morphettville and won once this prep at Balaklava four runs back. Barend Vorster and Tony & Calvin McEvoy are a proven combination. Must respect. |
13. Ballynora | Just missed as favourite last start at Racing.com Park on a soft track and up in distance. Rates highly with Kayla Crowther aboard. Needs the breaks. |
