1. California August | Finished five lengths off the winner last start at Sapphire Coast and should run fitter for past attempts. A good chance. |
2. American Genius | Narrowly beaten at long odds last start at Moruya and won once this prep at the track six runs back. three from five wins have been in the dry. A good chance. |
3. Chairman's Choice | Returns from 12 week let-up and will come to hand quickly. No wins in six past runs at Moruya. Capable of getting into the money. |
4. Denim Street | Narrowly beaten at long odds last start at Moruya and four from seven wins have been in the dry. Up in journey. Genuine contender. |
5. Romeo Vella | Disappointed when only placing as favourite last start at Moruya and won once this prep at Sapphire Coast two runs back. Placed in two of three at the track before. Confident will go close. |
6. Inch Perfect | Finished four lengths back last start at Sapphire Coast on a soft track when fresh but three of five wins have come from dry ground. Has not won at Moruya previously. Sneaky chance. |
7. Alqaab | Well beaten but finished strongly last start at Nowra on a soft track when fresh. 3kg claim should help. Draws to do no work but still looks tested. |
8. Shipierro | Finished four lengths back last start at Nowra and the good track not a benefit. Up in distance. Looks tested. |
9. Irish Bride | Faded to finish six lengths off the winner last start at Moruya and has not won in three outings to the track before. Just the one placing this campaign at Sapphire Coast. Not in this. |
10. Sugar Bay Leonard | Placed last start at Gundagai and drops 1.5kg from last run. Up in trip. Rough claims. |
