1. Charlton | Resumes from a 21 week spell and placed in Oakbank trial but could need a few starts to get going. Unlikely. |
2. South Bend | Finished eighth last start at Naracoorte on a soft track when resuming and awkwardly drawn. Up in trip. Place chance. |
3. Hasta La Dreams | Ran eighth last start at Naracoorte on a soft track and without a win in five runs at Penola. Just the one placing this campaign at Naracoorte. Not the worst. |
4. Quiet Class | Unplaced in all four runs this prep and faded to finish sixth last start at Naracoorte on a soft track. Rises in distance. Not here. |
5. The Last Godfather | Has struggled in all five runs so far this campaign and awkwardly drawn. Goes up in weight. Outsider. |
6. O'mizzna | Won once this prep at Naracoorte three runs back and placed last start at Naracoorte on a soft track. All wins have come when faced with dry ground. The testing material. |
7. Outinthestreet | Finished strongly to end up midfield last start at Naracoorte on a soft track and won once this prep at Penola three runs back. Carrying less weight. A good chance. |
8. Al Ma Belle | Let-up for eight weeks and is yet to salute in four runs this prep. Carrying less weight but look to others. |
9. You Es Marshal | Finished in the middle of the pack last start at Murray Bridge and should run fitter for past attempts. Faces a rise in trip. Commands respect. |
10. Bunumburt | Placed when unwanted in the betting last start at Terang and has two placings from four runs this prep. 2kg claim should help. Forward showing no surprise. |
11. Miss Catastrophi | Finished 10th last start at Gawler but racing back from the city. Up 3.5kg from last run. Outsider. |
12. Love in the City | Ran three lengths back from the winner last start at Burrumbeet and awkwardly drawn. All three wins have come in the dry but appears safely held. |
