1. Dasvidaniya | Yet to place in six attempts and unsighted last start at Tamworth. An untried jockey and trainer combination. Unlikely. |
2. Pacheco | Finished fourth last start at Hawkesbury and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Aaron Bullock has a strike rate of 28% for this trainer. Rates as one of the key chances. |
3. Taborca | 2 len, 3/4 len 3rd of 14 (5) $3.60F 59.0 Possibly So, All Things Great 1310m Dubbo Mdn Plate Soft(6) June 10. 3 len win of 14 (6) $2.60F 59.0 Blue Guitar, Jade 1400m Tamworth Mdn Plate Good(4) June 24. |
4. The Gossiper | Returns from nine week let-up and trialled at Tamworth. Still a maiden after 16 starts. Not the worst. |
5. All Stretched | Sam Kavanagh debutant and ran in two trials. Claim helps. Watch betting. |
6. Exo Angel | Finished sixth at only start at Gosford and concern is the wide barrier. Hard to have. |
7. Falsetto | 4-3/4 len 4th of 10 (6) $10.00 57.0 Glacier Queen 1200m Warwick Farm F&M Mdn Hcp Soft(6) June 13. Stewards queried run. Lame 1/5 6-1/4 len 6th of 9 (1) $8.50 56.5 Flag Of Honour 1200m Newcastle Mdn Hcp Soft(7) June 25. |
8. First Mover | Ran five lengths back from the winner last start at Dubbo but go well. |
9. Miss Milton | Has placed in two runs from three this campaign and placed last start at Scone on a soft track. Drawn ideally. Genuine contender. |
10. Rockbarton Ruby | In the money last start running third at Newcastle on a heavy track when resuming but ran fifth at Scone in only second-up attempt. Sneaky chance. |
11. Blue Canasta | Resumes after spell of 18 weeks and has shown potential in trials but still not in this. |
12. Gotta Fly | On debut and ran in three trials. Awkwardly drawn. Watch early betting. |
13. Ironbark Artie | Resumes after spell of 17 weeks and looks ready to go on recent trial performances but prefer to watch go around. |
