1. Cadre Du Noir | Finished five lengths off the winner last start at Randwick and placed at trial since last race 28 days ago. Proven perfromer on a soft track. Leading hope. |
2. Our Candidate | Last start winner at Grafton and has run well on a softer track. Large claim helps. Expected to be a contender. |
3. Philipsburg | Short back-up of seven days. Came on strong when just beaten last start at Rosehill Gardens on a soft track and rates highly with Winona Costin back on board. Can figure. |
4. So United | Ran eight lengths back from the winner last start at Warwick Farm. At least a place chance here. |
5. Marakopa | In the money last start running second at Warwick Farm on a heavy track and proven on softer tracks. Rates highly with Louise Day aboard. One for wider exotics. |
6. Yggdrasil | Short back-up of seven days and two wins from 10 attempts this campaign. Rates highly with William Pike aboard. Winning chance. |
7. Forest Diamond | Can't knock the form with three wins from nine attempts this campaign and amongst the placegetters last start running third at Caulfield on a soft track. Likely to settle back in the field. Forward showing no surprise. |
8. Kitzbuhel | Won last start at Narrandera and rates well in these conditons. Claim should help. Not the worst. |
9. Our Bambino | On a seven day back-up. Couldn't hold on and just missed last start at Kembla Grange but no wins in four past runs at Randwick. Hard to have. |
10. Decadent Tale | |
11. Fine Weather | Can't knock the form with two wins from eight attempts this campaign and drawn perfectly. Should race on the speed. Capable of getting into the money. |
