1. Promesa | First-up after 20 week break and coming to a new trainer. Expected to settle off the speed. Must be considered. |
2. Bounty Prince | Faded to finish ninth at only start at Kerang and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Outsider. |
3. Exceed Tycoon | Has placed in both races run and just missed as favourite last start at Benalla on a soft track. Probably wins |
4. Night Rocket | First start and fitter for Tatura trial. Watch early betting. |

6. Apres La Mer | Amongst the placegetters first two attempts this prep. Will likely lead/box seat and returns to shorter trip. Right in this. |
7. Hyperion Angel | Short back-up of five days and still a maiden after 14 starts. Has not won at Wangaratta previously. Not keen. |
8. Stardust Lover | Struggled so far this preparation and finished seventh last start at Penshurst on a soft track. Goes down in weight but not in this. |
