1. Reach Beyond | Has two wins from five attempts this campaign but faded to finish eight lengths off the winner last start at Rosehill Gardens. Should race on the speed. Hard to get enthused. |
2. Sovereign Express | Can't knock the form winning two in a row at Wyong and Newcastle. Proven on softer tracks. Place chance. |
3. Time Raid | Struggled so far this preparation and gets the blinkers back on. Up in distance. Capable of getting into the money. |

5. Invincible Dash | Faded to finish three lengths off the winner last start at Narrandera and up in journey. Billy Owen has had success aboard previously. Serious player. |

8. Mandalorian | Finished in the middle of the pack last start at Warwick Farm and has not won at Hawkesbury previously. Likely to race off the speed. Hard to have. |
9. Turnaround Time | Can't knock the form with two wins from 11 attempts this campaign and coming off a win at Bathurst on a soft track. Has won two of seven with the sting out of the ground. One for wider exotics. |
10. Dash Dash Dash | Failed to win as a favourite last start at Gosford but has three placings from three runs this prep. Should race on the speed. Expect to be right up there. |
