2. Brainzes | Ran six lengths back from the winner last start at Sapphire Coast on a heavy track. Should fight out the finish. |
3. Outahand | Finished in the middle of the pack last start at Goulburn and should run fitter for past attempts. Likely to race on the speed in a race with minimal pressure expected. Should be right in the finish. |
4. Wasserman | Inconvenienced at start. Overraced early, middle stages. Wide during race len 2nd of 9 (7) $3.80F 55.5 Pep 1700m Wellington Plate (C1) Soft(7) July 18. 5-3/4 len 6th of 12 (2) $9.50 60.0 Deel Street 1620m Dubbo (Bm58) Soft(7) Aug 7. |
5. Zariz No Water | In the money last start running second at Canberra on a heavy track and relishes the heavy, winning two in these conditions before. Robyn Freeman a bonus. Capable of getting into the money. |
6. Howlowcanyougo | Finished midfield last start at Forbes on a soft track and has not won in four outings to Goulburn before. Likely to race near the speed in a race without much early pace. Prefer to watch go around. |
7. The Pres | Won once this prep at Nowra seven runs back and placed last start at Goulburn on a soft track. Can get the job done. |
8. Zarafah | Finished midfield last start at Goulburn and placed when fresh. Placed in five of seven at the track before. Outside hope. |
9. Smelisha | Winner of last two at Bathurst and Queanbeyan but concern is the wide barrier. Capable of getting into the money. |
10. Spinpix | Last start winner at long odds to break maiden at Kembla Grange on a heavy track and drawn perfectly. No wins in three past runs at Goulburn. Hard to get enthused. |
11. The View | Won once this prep at Sapphire Coast three runs back and would prefer it drier. Widest barrier is a concern. Not here. |
12. Talladega Knight | Has placed in two runs from five this campaign but faded to finish sixth last start at Goulburn. Likely to race on the speed in a race with minimal pressure expected. Place. |
