4. Admiral Ash | Ran 10 lengths back from the winner last start at Taree when resuming. Gets a nice run behind a genuine tempo and ran third at Port Macquarie when last second-up. Prefer to watch go around. |
5. Darci Diva | Narrowly beaten when heavily backed last start at Port Macquarie on a heavy track. Winner at Ruakaka and placed twice this campaign. Claim helps. At least a place chance here. |
6. Dr Demon | Has placed in two runs from four this campaign. Gets a nice run behind a genuine tempo and draws to do no work. Sneaky chance. |

12. Our Boy Malcolm | Ran fourth last start at Taree and has run well on a heavy track. Just the one placing this campaign at Dubbo. Rough claims. |
13. Stella Redente | Well beaten but finished strongly last start at Grafton on a soft track and won once this prep at Kempsey six runs back. Concern is the wide barrier. Look to others. |
14. Superel | Never in the race last start at Gunnedah on a soft track when first up and concern is the wide barrier. Ran 12th at Muswellbrook when last second-up. Cannot entertain. |
15. Budawang | Unsighted last start at Port Macquarie. Will be back in the field but suited by the likely solid tempo. Not here. |
