9. Full Ahead | Has struggled in all three runs so far this campaign and up in journey. Drawn perfectly but still looking elsewhere. |

11. Garros | Well beaten but finished strongly last start at Corowa and up in distance. Must respect. |
12. Ruzaton | Finished 10 lengths back last start at Cranbourne when fresh and faces a rise in distance. Likely to race on the speed. Looking elsewhere. |
