1. King Wimbble | Came on to finish midfield last start at Nowra and goes up in distance for the first time. Should fight out the finish. |
2. Ludum | Unsighted last start at Sapphire Coast on a soft track when resuming and ran 12th at Moruya in only second-up attempt. Tends to settle back. Outsider. |
3. Russian Missile | A 13 start maiden and finished sixth last start at Moruya on a soft track when first up. Has the speed to overcome a very wide draw. Needs the breaks. |
4. Stays On Tour | Has placed in two runs from five this campaign and drawn ideally. Rises in distance. Expect to be right up there. |
5. Coastal Rush | Has struggled in both runs so far this campaign and did nothing to threaten last start at Sapphire Coast. Looking elsewhere. |
6. Philipsburg | Came on to finish midfield last start at Nowra on a soft track when first up and will have a soft run from inside gate. Among the main chances. |
7. Shamus Oh | Finished worse than midfield at only start at Moruya on a soft track and awkwardly drawn. Prefer to watch go around. |
8. Sweet Cheval | Finished fourth last start at Canberra when resuming. Won't be far away in the run. Right in this. |
9. Easy Mover | Yet to break out of maiden grade after 33 attempts and came on to finish midfield last start at Moruya. Awkwardly drawn. Sneaky chance. |
10. Miss Keira | Still a maiden after 10 starts and awkwardly drawn. Sneaky chance. |
11. Practical Joke | Finished in the middle of the pack last start at Gundagai. Rise in trip and untested at this range. Carrying more weight. Hard to have. |
12. Sizzling Rush | Has run in 12 races without placing and has not won at Moruya previously. Drawn no favours. Not keen. |
13. Boomahnoomoonah | Narrowly beaten when heavily backed last start at Sapphire Coast on a soft track and has two placings from four runs this prep. Hard to beat. |
14. Diamond Run | Finished worse than midfield at only start at Goulburn but drops 1kg from last run, still not keen. |
