1. Valley Rattler | Finished five lengths back last start at Eagle Farm and won once this prep at Eagle Farm two runs back. Likely to race off the speed. One of the main hopes. |
2. Destroy The Star | Resumes from a 20 week spell and won at Townsville in first outing. Drops in weight. Should go well. |
3. Bean Deadly | Only just missed in driving finish last start at Rockhampton on a soft track and drawn perfectly. Has placed in two runs from three this campaign. Expect to be right up there. |
4. Kamarcher | Finished sixth last start at Doomben and just the one placing this campaign at Rockhampton. Goes up in weight. Looking elsewhere. |
5. The Delinquent | Couldn't hold on and just missed last start at Townsville but wide barrier is a concern. Should run fitter for two previous outings. Looking elsewhere. |
6. Cody Altem | Resumes after spell of 13 weeks and placed at last trial at this track but finished fourth at Mackay on debut. Appears safely held. |
7. Albert's In Charge | Finished six lengths back at only start at Ipswich on a soft track and awkwardly drawn. Carrying more weight. Appears safely held. |

9. Shesaysthanks | Surprised punters to win at long odds last start to break maiden at Rockhampton on a soft track and rates well in these conditons. Well drawn. Can get the job done. |
10. Montana Night | Finished worse than midfield last start at Rockhampton on a soft track but won one of three with the sting out of the ground. Placed in first start this prep. Chance. |
11. Agustawynd | Has placed in all races to date but placed as a favourite last start at Rockhampton. Placed four times at the track but been unable to get a win. Will take a power of beating. |
12. Ashcroft | Got the campaign off to a strong start winning when fresh and came on to finish midfield last start at Rockhampton on a soft track. Goes down in weight. Place only. |
13. Lockdown Lady | In the money last start running third at Rockhampton but has not won in three outings to the track before. Expected to settle off the speed. Sneaky chance. |
14. Tahlia Gold | First-up after 13 week break and has the benefit of a Rockhampton trial. Widest barrier is a concern. Not here. |
