1. Brutus | Finished 13th last start at Sunshine Coast on a soft track and won once this prep at Taroom seven runs back. Rates highly with Isabella Rabjones back on board. Not the worst. |
2. In Agreement | Unplaced in all five runs this prep and came on to finish midfield last start at Warwick. Goes up slightly in weight. Not in this. |
3. Buzzer Beater | Unplaced in all four runs this prep and well beaten but finished strongly last start at Sunshine Coast. Forward showing no surprise. |
4. Grande Casadora | Faded to finish fifth last start at Kilcoy and up in weight. All five wins have come in the dry but still outsider. |
5. In Your Element | Having first run for a new trainer and returns to shorter trip. Drawn out wide. Looks tested. |
6. Our Rocky | Finished seventh last start at Beaudesert but rates highly with Nozi Tomizawa aboard. Likely to settle back in the field. Solid claims. |
7. Skye And Me | Has placed in two runs from three this campaign and placed last start at Toowoomba on a soft track. Likely to settle back in the field. Beautifully placed. |

10. Terrajohna | Last start winner to break maiden at Toowoomba on a soft track and drawn ideally. Likely to race off the speed. Expected to be a contender. |

12. Fearless Queen | Finished four lengths back last start at Warwick but drops in weight. Just the one placing this campaign at Sunshine Coast. Prefer others. |
13. Ruby Rush | Back after 23 week break and resumes well. Large claim helps. Knockout hope. |
14. Sizzling Babe | First-up after 21 week break and doesn't fire fresh. Drops in weight but prefer others. |
15. Fort Myer | Unplaced in all four runs this prep but has the speed to overcome a very wide draw. Carrying less weight but seems unlikely. |
16. Animal Instinct | Just missed at long odds last start at Sunshine Coast but wide barrier is a concern. Just the one placing this campaign at Beaudesert. Hard to have. |
17. King Bart | Winner at Chinchilla and placed twice this prep. Placed last start at Warwick. Without a win in four runs at the track. Not keen. |
