Draw: 3 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/10
She is returning from a short 10-week break. She may be in need of the run, but this is not a strong field. Anton Marcus is in the saddle and she is the horse to beat.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 10 wks. Best MR:70. At best over this distance. Should shed maiden tag.

He ran a good race when finishing third with the blinkers fitted last time. He is doing well at home and gets the services of Anton Marcus. He jumps from a good draw of three and will be a big runner.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:72. Good latest with the blinkers fitted. Will love the 1700m and can go close.

He moved up well in his last start over 1600m before finishing third. The son of Duke Of Marmalade is racing consistently and with Keagan de Melo in the saddle, he is expected to be competitive.

Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 1 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He has been disappointing in recent outings. He jumps from barrier one which is always a positive. He is dropping in the ratings and we are hoping to see an improved run.
Winning Form Comment: Blinkers ON. Best MR:87. Drops back to 1000m and gets blinkers re-fitted. Can improve.

Wgt: 57.5kg
Draw: 6 (9 Runners)

She was in need of her last start when returning from a 16-week break. She has come on since that outing and she is showing good work at home. We are hoping that she will be ridden from a more prominent position and she should improve to have an each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:87. Needed handicap debut in this class. Should strip fitter and can improve.

Draw: 5 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
His last two starts have been good. He is a horse that always gives of his best. The son of Gimmethegreenlight is in a good space heading into this race and with Keagan de Melo retaining the ride, he has an each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:84. Good last two runs. The 3rd horse in latest has won since.
