1. Glasgow Girl | Won once this prep at Belmont two runs back and has the speed to overcome drawing the widest barrier. Takes a 3kg claim. Place hope. |
2. Sockoff | Faded to finish eight lengths off the winner last start at Belmont when first up and gets the blinkers back on. Comes to hand quickly and placed at Pinjarra when last second-up. Right in this. |
3. Forest War | Ran sixth last start at Belmont. Likely to get a nice run behind the speed and Jason Brown a bonus. Serious player. |
4. Storm Commander | Short back-up of seven days and won once this prep at Belmont four runs back. Returns to shorter trip. Hard to hold out. |
5. Ultimate Command | Won once this prep at Belmont four runs back and finished 10 lengths off the winner last start at the track. Returns to shorter trip. Not the worst. |
6. Born To Rule | First-up after 20 week spell and placed in last trial at Lark Hill. Track specialist winning twice at Belmont. Perfectly placed. |
7. Requisition | |
8. Skipping Digits | Resumes after spell of 23 weeks and fitter for multiple trial runs. Won or placed in three to start career but still outsider. |
9. To Rise Again | Has got off to a poor start this campaign but should improve with fitness. Should race on the speed and could struggle from a wide barrier draw. Appears tested. |
10. Royal Gap | Back after 24 week break and might need the run. Decrease in trip may not suit. Not keen. |
11. Al Di La | Unplaced in all eight runs this prep and gets the blinkers back on. Down in distance. Seems unlikely. |
12. Saving Memphis | Returns from 11 week let-up and down in distance. Has not won at Belmont previously. Appears safely held. |
