1. Acerticus | Finished sixth last start at Avoca when fresh and gets the blinkers back on. Likely to settle back in the field. Can threaten. |
2. Rumbleinthejungle | Ran 10 lengths back from the winner last start at Sale on a soft track and should run fitter for past attempts. Appears tested. |
3. Stratum's Reward | Placed when unwanted in the betting last start at Pakenham Park on a soft track and draws to do no work. Jake Noonan not a regular jockey for this trainer. Not keen. |
4. Takatoka | Resumes after spell of 31 weeks and yet to miss the placegetters. Has the benefit of a Cranbourne trial. Well placed. |
5. Raphael | Finished midfield last start at Bairnsdale when fresh and up in distance. Go well. |
6. Our Ginger Ninja | Amongst the placegetters last start running second at Pakenham Park on a soft track but Daniel Stackhouse not a regular jockey for this trainer. Won't be far away in the run. Place only. |
