2. Hardley Grey | Unwanted by the market but right up there last start at Lismore and gets the winkers on for the first time. Won't be far away in the run. Expected to be a contender. |
3. Mr Begley | Faded to finish 20 lengths off the winner last start at Toowoomba but drawn perfectly. Should run fitter for two previous outings. Seems unlikely. |
4. Brunel Kingdom | Ran five lengths back from the winner last start at Lismore on a heavy track and should run fitter for past attempts. Can’t dismiss. |
5. Beneficient | Ran seven lengths back from the winner last start at Ipswich and could struggle from a wide barrier draw. Takes a 3kg claim but seems unlikely. |
6. Filthy Rich | Finished worse than midfield last start at Grafton on a soft track when fresh and up in journey. Ran 10th at Inverell when last second-up. Outside hope. |
7. Goddess Glow | Faded to finish five lengths off the winner last start at Gatton on a soft track but still among the main chances. |
8. Hellion Of Cluster | Ran fifth last start at Lismore and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Should race on the speed. Right in this. |
9. Klondike Strike | Faded to finish ninth last start at Lismore on a heavy track and blinkers come off. Should race on the speed. Tough to beat. |
10. Milonia | Has had 23 runs without breaking maiden and faded to finish eighth last start at Lismore on a heavy track. Looking elsewhere. |
11. Real Akage | Faded to finish 12th last start at Grafton. Prefer to watch go around. |
