1. Keys Please | Resumes after spell of 19 weeks and unbeaten in both runs. Winner when on debut at Townsville. Major contender. |
2. Boomed | Coming off a win to break maiden at Townsville and proven on softer tracks. Chris Whiteley a bonus. Go well. |
3. Husette | Let-up for five weeks. Winner at Townsville and placed once this campaign. Proven on softer tracks. Standout top pick. |
4. Inhistime | First starter and untrialled. Watch early betting. |
5. Avoiding Her | First race for John Manzelmann. Generally gets back but from a strong camp, still seems unlikely. |
6. Golden Groove | Still a maiden after 10 starts and beaten easily last start at Gladstone. No wins in four past runs at Townsville. Appears tested. |
7. Shamarchie | First starter and untrialled. 3kg claim should help. Watch early betting. |
