2. Harlem Blues | Back after 13 week break following gelding. Won't be far away in the run. The testing material. |
3. Toorak Warrior | Ran as favourite last start and placed at Kilmore but two wins from five attempts this campaign. Big drop in weight. Can get the job done. |
4. Dynamic Duo | Came on to finish midfield last start at Ballarat when fresh and all wins have come when faced with dry ground. Likely to settle back in the field. Place only. |
5. Stage Front | Surprised punters to win at long odds last start at Swan Hill and two wins from three attempts this campaign. Won't be far away in the run. Place only. |
6. Beaverbrook | Ran two lengths back from the winner last start at Flemington on a heavy track when first up and has multiple wins at Sandown. 2kg claim should help. One for wider exotics. |
7. Private Lounge | Back after 13 week break and first race for Patrick Payne. Placed at Mornington when last fresh and won one of five first-up. At least a place chance here. |
8. Cruizie Captain | Finished five lengths back last start at Moonee Valley and won once this prep at Terang five runs back. Rise in weight. Look to others. |
9. Kootara | Ran as favourite last start and placed at Kyneton. Won once this prep at Echuca seven runs back. two of three wins have come from dry ground. A good chance. |
10. Let Loose | Unsighted last start at Moonee Valley when first up and up in weight. Tends to settle back. Seems unlikely. |
