1. Mamaragan | Amongst the placegetters last start running third at Randwick and claim should help. Strong hope. |
2. Snowzone | |
3. Our Bellagio Miss | Finished three quarters of a length back from the leader last start at Randwick and a track specialist winning twice at the track. Has placed in two runs from four this campaign. Place chance. |
4. Rainbow Connection | Struggled so far this preparation and faded to finish eighth last start at Randwick on a soft track. Place chance. |
5. Authentic Jewel | |
6. Conscript | Back after 21 week break and looks primed following successful lead-up trials. Has won two of three on a softer track. Rough claims. |
7. Hulk | Came on to finish midfield last start at Randwick on a soft track and placed once this prep at Scone. Serious player. |
8. Irish Angel | Came on to finish midfield last start at Rosehill Gardens. Should get a nice run behind a genuine early tempo and has not won at Randwick previously. Looks tested. |
9. Burning Crown | |
10. Catesby | First start for a new trainer and this campaign's form has left a lot to be desired. Drawn ideally but prefer to watch go around. |
11. Broken Arrows | Finished five lengths back last start at Randwick on a soft track. Expected to settle just off the speed and won once this prep at Warwick Farm seven runs back. Hard to have. |
12. Miss Dior | Resuming from a long 42 week spell and prepped well winning last trial at the same track. Generally strong first-up placing at Randwick last attempt. Hard to go past. |
13. Star Cherie | Ran two lengths back from the winner last start at Randwick on a soft track when resuming and proven on softer tracks. Has the speed to overcome an unfavourable draw. Outside hope. |
14. Shores Of Avalon | Amongst the placegetters last start running third at Dubbo on a soft track when fresh. Likely to race on the speed and ran second at Gundagai when last second-up. Place. |
15. I Call Junee Home | Winner of last two at Canterbury and Goulburn. Likely to race on the speed. Prefer others. |
16. Miss Jay Fox | Resumes after spell of 17 weeks and looks primed following successful lead-up trials. Has not won in three outings to Randwick before. Hard to get enthused. |
17. Nosey | Unplaced in all seven runs this prep and widest barrier is a concern. Looking elsewhere. |
