1. Intueri | Finished fifth last start at Canberra and down in distance. Placed once this prep at Cooma. Can’t dismiss. |

3. Bravado Lass | Close last start at Wagga Wagga and four of six wins have come from dry ground. Blaike McDougall a bonus. Tough to beat. |
4. Crocodile Cod | Last start winner at Tumut and carries a lot less weight. Rates highly with Megan Taylor aboard. Commands serious thought. |
5. Tickinover | Unplaced in all four runs this prep but goes well at Tumut. Drawn ideally. Place. |
6. The Chaplain | Finished in the middle of the pack last start at Wagga Wagga and has two placings from seven runs this prep. All two wins have come in the dry. Must respect. |
7. Narelle | Ran sixth last start at Benalla but drops in weight. two of three wins have come from dry ground but still outsider. |
8. My Kind | Has struggled in all three runs so far this campaign and did nothing to threaten last start at Tumut. Goes down in weight but still this looks too strong. |
9. Uno Tops | Unplaced in all five runs this prep and finished midfield last start at Queanbeyan. Goes down in weight but still hard to have. |
