4. Kensington Kid | Ran seventh last start at Armidale on a heavy track and gets the blinkers back on. 3kg claim should help but prefer others. |
5. Moetta | Just missed as favourite last start at Warren. Should race on the speed and takes a 3kg claim. Genuine contender. |

10. Deepstar | Back after 31 week break and blinkers come off for the first time. Trialled at Scone. Outsider. |
11. Line Of Kings | Unplaced in all four runs this prep and finished midfield last start at Tamworth. Awkwardly drawn. Look to others. |

15. Foxbreak | Resumes after a spell of 72 weeks. Won at only start at Walcha and has placed once in three trials. Not the worst. |
