1. Etomorp | Has been flying of late. Likely to settle back in the field. Leading chance. |
2. Marchamley | Strong in winning last start to break maiden at Northam. Generally races near the speed and rates highly with Jade McNaught aboard. Not the worst. |
3. Buckland | Finished fifth last start at Pinjarra on a heavy track and won once this prep at Northam four runs back. Not in this. |
4. Buckeye Bullet | Finished in the middle of the pack last start at Belmont and has the speed to overcome a very wide draw. Returns to shorter trip. Not out of it. |
5. Eldorado River | Finished strongly to end up midfield last start at Belmont on a soft track and down in distance. Has not won at the track previously. Rough claims. |
6. Wicked Fox | Never in the race last start at Belmont on a soft track when fresh and up in trip. Drawn the widest barrier. Hard to have. |
7. Popcorn Tender | Ran fourth last start at Pinjarra and has three placings from 12 runs this prep. Likely to race on the speed. Go well. |
8. Lady Of Babylon | In the money last start running third at Belmont but without a win in five runs at the track. Likely to race off the speed. Rough claims. |
9. Patchwork | Amongst the placegetters last start running third at Belmont on a soft track. Likely to settle back in the field and should run fitter for past attempts. A good chance. |
10. Inahappydaze | Placed last start at Northam and has three placings from six runs this prep. Likely to race on the speed. Should go well. |
11. Rodomonte | Unplaced in all four runs this prep and down in distance. Has not won at Belmont previously. Prefer others. |
12. Vitai Lampada | Struggled so far this preparation but drawn the rails. Claim should help but still looking elsewhere. |
