2. Rich And Shameless | Short back-up of seven days. Has won at Randwick and placed twice this prep. Won't be far away in the run. Leading chance. |
3. Faith in Kind | Struggled so far this preparation but comes back to race at a country level. Has plenty of weight. Prefer to watch go around. |
4. Velaro | Ran eighth last start at Rosehill but racing back from the city. Trialled in the 38 days since last run. A winning chance. |
5. Shamamour | Unplaced in all six runs this prep and unsighted last start at Muswellbrook on a soft track. Drops in weight. Chance. |

7. Ellebeedee | Coming off a win at Tamworth and two wins from five attempts this campaign. two from three wins have been in the dry. Expect to be right up there. |
8. Fenerbache | Finished worse than midfield last start at Walcha but all wins have come when faced with dry ground. Drops in weight but still not keen. |
9. Stampede Warrior | Short back-up of seven days and carries a lot less weight. Faces a rise in trip. Go well. |
10. Thiswilldous | Finished three lengths off the winner last start at Gilgandra on a heavy track and drops in weight. Just the one placing this campaign at Wyong. Hard to have. |
11. Pressing Matters | Resumes from a 38 week spell and might need the run. Down in distance. Appears tested. |
12. Veedouble | Has won at Tamworth and placed once this campaign. In the money last start running second at the track. All two wins have come in the dry. Knockout hope. |
13. Our Tax Return | Unplaced in all six runs this prep but a track specialist winning twice at Tamworth. Concern is the wide barrier. Seems unlikely. |
14. Disenchanted | Finished strongly to end up midfield last start at Walcha and down in weight. Just the one placing this campaign at Quirindi. Hard to get enthused. |
