1. Ostermeier | Got the campaign off to a strong start winning when fresh and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Ron Goltz has had success aboard previously. Not out of it. |
2. Kasita | Faded to finish 10 lengths off the winner last start at Toowoomba and gets the blinkers back on. Likely to race on the speed in a race with minimal pressure expected. Commands respect. |
3. Absolute Glory | Finished worse than midfield last start at Toowoomba when fresh but Kyle Wilson-Taylor has had success aboard previously. Ran sixth at Doomben when last second-up. Serious player. |
4. Jabalic | |
5. Dragon Pursuit | Faded to finish 16 lengths off the winner last start at Gold Coast on a heavy track. Must be considered. |
6. Frascati Miss | First-up after 34 week spell and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Fitter for Toowoomba trial. Unlikely. |
7. Suzy Needs Lovin' | |
8. Wearetenfortyeight | Finished midfield last start at Toowoomba and won once this prep at the track three runs back. Should be near the speed in a race without much early pace. Will take a power of beating. |
9. Tycoon Player | Unsighted last start at Doomben when fresh and soft track a real concern. Without a win in three runs at Toowoomba. Not in this. |
