1. Eight Cylinders | |
2. Higher | On debut and trialling strongly. Watch early betting. |
3. Our Mate Stumpy | John Holcombe debutant and has a place in two trials. Watch the market. |
4. Telegraph | Resumes from a 26 week spell and first race for John Smerdon. Will come to hand quickly and ran third when last first-up at Cranbourne. Looks a safe bet. |
5. Spill The Secret | Resumes after a 15 week spell and drawn ideally. Likely to settle back in the field. Go well. |
6. The Sicillian Boy | In the money last start running third at Gatton and has the speed to overcome drawing the widest barrier. Likely to race on the speed. Place chance. |
7. Wicked'n' Lovin'it | Finished in the middle of the pack at only start at Warwick. Seems unlikely. |
8. Beanhugged | Finished in the middle of the pack last start at Sunshine Coast when first up and has two placings from eight runs this prep. Ran fifth at Sunshine Coast when last second-up. Solid claims. |
9. Lady Mantagna | |
10. Perfect Legacy | Ran six lengths back from the winner last start at Sunshine Coast on a soft track. Chance. |
11. Fide Et Amore | Unplaced in all four runs this prep and down in distance. Has the speed to overcome a very wide draw but still prefer others. |
12. Shoelace Soup | Unplaced in career and finished fifth last start at Warwick. Up in trip. Look to others. |
