1. Wiki | Couldn't hold on and just missed last start at Port Macquarie. Blinkers come off for the first time. Should run fitter for two previous outings. Solid claims. |
2. Heughan | Finished eight lengths off the winner at only start at Taree and drawn perfectly. Carrying less weight. Rough claims. |
3. Mi Greyt Mate | Short back-up of seven days. Finished two lengths back last start at Scone and should run fitter for past attempts. One of the main hopes. |
4. Subtly Spring | Struggled so far this preparation and ran seventh last start at Dubbo on a soft track. Awkwardly drawn. Looks tested. |
5. Mon Amore | Unsighted last start at Newcastle on a soft track and up in journey. Well drawn. One of the main hopes. |
6. Sea Boss | Did nothing to threaten last start at Taree on a soft track and could struggle from a wide barrier draw. Goes up in trip and has struggled at this range previously. Not the worst. |
7. High Commission | Has placed in three runs from three this campaign and faded from front position to finish just off the winner last start at Tamworth. Carrying less weight. Among the main chances. |
8. She Wizz | Unsighted at only start at Tamworth. Unlikely. |

10. Individualist | Coming to a new trainer and yet to break out of maiden grade after 13 attempts. Goes down in weight. Rough claims. |
11. Loyal Romance | Ran four lengths back from the winner last start at Muswellbrook and drops 1.5kg from last run. Likely to race on the speed. Capable of getting into the money. |
12. Mopitts | Disappointed when only placing as favourite last start at Muswellbrook but has two placings from three runs this prep. Likely to race off the speed. Big chance. |
13. Nomoretawq | Began awkwardly. Keen 5 len 7th of 10 (7) $81.00 57.0 Templates 1900m Gosford Mdn Plate Good(4) Jan 15. Began awkwardly 13-3/4 len 12th of 13 (9) $91.00 59.0 Flash Panther 1850m Newcastle Mdn Plate Heavy(8) Jan 30. |
14. Pop's Glory | Has had 12 runs without breaking maiden and ran eight lengths back from the winner last start at Gosford. Down in weight but still hard to have. |
15. Ishkabibble | A 16 start maiden and did nothing to threaten last start at Armidale. Big drop in weight but still appears tested. |
