1. Bengal Bandit | |
2. Two Smokin Barrels | Back from 19 week spell and has placed once in three trials. Returns to shorter trip. Rough claims. |
3. Chevy Nova | Was able to place at long odds last start at Beaudesert on a soft track and goes up in distance for the first time. Can threaten. |
4. Angels Share | Last start winner at long odds at Sunshine Coast on a soft track when fresh and in strong form with three wins from 12 attempts this campaign. Rates highly with Kenji Yoshida aboard. Chance. |
5. Nishikori | Won last start at Beaudesert on a soft track and draws to do no work. Returns to shorter trip. Must respect. |
6. Fast Thinker | Faded to finish nine lengths off the winner last start at Gold Coast when first up but relishes the heavy. Generally strong second-up but still hard to get enthused. |
7. Princess Sparkles | |
8. San Pierre | Finished worse than midfield last start at Gold Coast on a heavy track and gets the blinkers back on. Would prefer drier. Not in this. |
9. Helsun | Finished in the middle of the pack last start at Sunshine Coast on a soft track and no wins in seven past runs at Gold Coast. Likely to settle back in the field. Not in this. |
