1. On a Promise | Finished seven lengths back last start at Wellington but rates well in these conditons. Without a win in five runs at Dubbo. Looking to others. |
2. The Mediator | Short back-up of seven days and won once this prep at Cowra two runs back. Should race on the speed. Well placed. |
3. Wasserman | Failed to win as a favourite last start at Wellington on a soft track and won once this prep at Dubbo two runs back. Solid claims. |
4. Bandahara | Placed in first start this prep and no wins in five past runs at Dubbo. Faces a rise in trip. Prefer others. |

8. Quest For Honor | Placed last start at Coonabarabran and drawn the rails. Should run fitter for two previous outings. Not the worst. |
9. Turn Table | Amongst the placegetters last start running third at Wellington on a soft track and has the speed to overcome drawing the widest barrier. Won't be far away in the run. Place chance. |
10. Hibern | Finished worse than midfield last start at Bathurst on a soft track and awkwardly drawn. Won't be far away in the run. Unlikely. |
11. Dancing Rachel | Amongst the placegetters last start running second at Coonabarabran on a soft track and has two placings from six runs this prep. Awkwardly drawn. Not the worst. |
12. Merdeka | Short back-up of seven days and has outstanding form at this track. Placed in first start this prep. Can surprise. |
13. Wandzel | Finished 14th last start at Coonabarabran and up in distance. Awkwardly drawn. Cannot entertain. |
14. For Da Boys | Unsighted last start at Coonabarabran on a soft track when first up and up in trip. Has not won in nine outings to Dubbo before. Hard to get enthused. |
