1. Bad Boy Bobby | Won once this prep at Mount Gambier two runs back and faded to finish sixth last start at Caulfield. Goes well on a softer track but look to others. |
2. Grade Zero | Let-up and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Has got off to a poor start this campaign but should improve with fitness. Needs the breaks. |
3. Kazoom | Struggled so far this preparation and finished 12th last start at Echuca. Can surprise. |
4. Raffish | Last start winner to break maiden at Geelong on a heavy track when fresh and Harry Coffey has had success aboard previously. Hard to beat. |
5. Rocky Raccoon | Faded to finish sixth last start at Bendigo on a soft track. Likely to race on the speed. Unlikely. |
6. Elas Jet | Only just missed last start, finishing half a length back from the winner at Wodonga on a soft track and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Has placed in four runs from eight this campaign. Should fight out the finish. |
7. Absconded | Finished in the middle of the pack last start at Warracknabeal and just the one placing this campaign at Ballarat Synthetic. Can surprise. |
8. Bruno Stars | Unplaced in all five runs this prep and finished sixth last start at Murtoa on a heavy track. Expected to settle off the speed. Not in this. |
9. Couldbefamous | On a six day back-up. Finished three lengths off the winner last start at Gundagai on a heavy track. Won't be far away in the run. Seems unlikely. |
10. Dente | 5 len 5th of 9 (2) $11.00 54.0 Border Leicester 3600m Bendigo 3yo+ (Bm70) Heavy(8) June 30. 2-1/4 len 2nd of 8 (6) $8.50 54.0 Bazini 3600m Bendigo 3yo+ (Bm70) Soft(6) July 14. |
11. Hubble | Amongst the placegetters last start running second at Mildura. A good chance. |
12. Super Quick Love | Finished six lengths off the winner last start at Sandown Hillside and racing back from the city. Expected to settle off the speed. At least a place chance here. |
13. Shilajit | Unsighted last start at Warrnambool on a heavy track when fresh and awkwardly drawn. Likely to settle back in the field. Not in this. |
