1. Drop the Orange | Resumes from a long 59 week spell and fitter for Murray Bdge trial. Down in distance. Appears tested. |
2. Foraoise | Can't knock the form with three wins from six attempts this campaign but ran seventh last start at Oakbank on a soft track. Down in distance. Hard to get enthused. |
3. Insaaf | Placed as a favourite last start at Murray Bdge and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Won't be far away in the run. Genuine contender. |

6. Mr Ranger | Finished in the middle of the pack last start at Murray Bdge on a soft track and won once this prep at Strathalbyn four runs back. Up in trip. Serious player. |
7. Sirmaze | First start for a new trainer and down in distance. Unplaced in 12 attempts with the sting out of the ground. Not here. |
8. Littlebitfunny | Faded to finish 10th last start at Murray Bdge on a soft track and no wins in five past runs at Strathalbyn. Should race on the speed. Outside hope. |
9. Buckeye Nation | Short back-up of four days. Faded to finish seventh last start at Gawler when fresh and without a win in three runs at Strathalbyn. Hard to have. |
