1. Schweinsteiger | Resumes after spell of 29 weeks and won two of five with the sting out of the ground. Returns to shorter trip. Appears safely held. |
2. Seafield Road | Looking for a hatrick after winning two in a row at Sale and placed in four of four at Pakenham Park before. Place. |
3. Iowa Hawkeye | First-up after 32 week spell and resumes well. Returns to shorter trip. Should go well. |
4. Force | Came on to finish midfield last start at Corowa and should run fitter for past attempts. Carrying less weight. Will take a power of beating. |
5. Summer Heat | Finished fourth last start at Sale on a heavy track and 3kg claim should help. Running 5kg lighter than last start. Place only. |
6. Ameliaranne | Has placed in three runs from six this campaign and has run well on a softer track. Drawn perfectly. Each-way claims. |
7. Zee Hoarder | Faded to finish three lengths off the winner last start at Mornington but goes down in weight. Up in journey. Prefer others. |
8. Hendrika | Placed in first start this prep and racing back from metro track. Goes down in weight. Expected to be a contender. |
